Arsenic And Old Bats
darbski25 August 2018
Warning: Spoilers
***SPOILERS*** Nope, Zimbalist isn't Grant, and nobody else is, either in this tepid, drawn out lameness. I think the main problem IS just that, too. If you're gonna use a lot of the same storyline as am incredibly funny movie, you've gotta do better than this. By far, the most interesting character in the show was Erin O'Day, and we were never told who the actress was - shame. Now, also... Bailey was right. The cops had to be on their way, and also, I'll give odds that Harry didn't just "fall" down the stairs, either. Probably, the semi-literate, musclebound, rockhead either tossed him, or just broke his neck and then pushed him. He's gotta go away, too. Besides that, the show was mildly amusing, with just too many clues in Bailey's face to ignore...I'll give it a weak 7.

Missing son....
searchanddestroy-19 November 2015
Many comedy and mystery accents in this entertaining story where our lead detectives investigate about a missing guy, whose body and car have been found in a river, disappeared one year earlier. His old and eccentric mother, who lives in an old mansion without electricity, says that she rejected her son. But it seems to be a kind of swindle in this case, because the deceased subscribed to an insurance policy. Double indemnity stuff, get it?

Not any noir atmosphere here, unlike in the other episodes. But the overall one is quite good, amusing, especially the old lady, the mother of the dead guy, who is absolutely unique. Would she be the real villain of the story? I won't spoil you this episode any further, folks. One of the most interesting so far. You see, here, the only action sequences have nothing to do with the main story line. Those scenes are just here to spice the tale a little, in order not to deceive the usual fans of the series.
