'Way Out (note that the on-screen title begins with an apostrophe) was a 1961 fantasy and science fiction television anthology series hosted by writer Roald Dahl. The macabre 25-minute shows were introduced by Dahl's dry delivery of a brief introductory monologue, sometimes explaining a method of murdering a spouse without getting caught.

"The Overnight Case" had potential, but never really went anywhere. If you enjoy ambiguous stories, this might be the kind of episode for you. While I do tend to enjoy stories that blur the lines of reality and fantasy, I didn't find myself caring for any specific version of the protagonist's reality enough to be invested in whether or not she discovered the truth.
In the beginning, I wasn't sure where this episode was going or if it would be worth the watch but I have to say it surprised me. The plot wasn't that mind-bending but it was executed incredibly well and was a blast to watch.
Perhaps my favourite episode so far. The setting itself was intriguing to say the least, and I found the main actress was well chosen. I knew there had to be more to the title than a reference to the film technique and it made the ending that much greater. This is also definitely one of the creepier and stranger episodes of the series and I absolutely loved the stillness of the night crew.
