As usual, very nice investigative work in this episode, especially regarding the matching shoe prints. Excellent film editing also contributes significantly to the impression of efficient, step-by-step solving of the crime. While watching this episode, I thought to myself, "This series deserves an award for its editing."
The producers make a gallant effort at adding graphics to enhance the viewing experience. I particularly liked the re-creation of the bullet's trajectory.
What didn't I like?
Overall, Detective Michael Mocello is fine. However, at times, he can behave like a slight jerk. I - and surely his colleagues as well - didn't appreciate his comment "That's why I make the big money" when he accidentally kicked a bag, exposing some blood. In fact, Mocello seems a little fixated on money. To victim's baby mama: "Did he flash his money around?" Comment after interviewing baby mama: "He wasn't really a wealthy man". Yo, Mocello, any other possible motives pass your mind?
Of course, given the series' name "Crime 360", viewers received the ubiquitous mini-lecture about the Leica 3D camera by Forensic Technician Jessica Kline; she served no other purpose in this episode. This mini-lecture has reared its ugly head in every episode so far. (If we change the name of the series to something else, can we dispense with the mini-lecture?)
Viewers were also treated to the silly graphics of a cell phone circuit board again... multiple times again. Once it's paid for itself, can we dispense with it, too?
