User Reviews

Incest & Slicing A Person Through A Meat-Grinder Are Never Pleasant Things

When everything was unraveled (which usually takes about three-fourths of the episode), this story turns out to be kind of sordid story. Heck, incest is always a sordid topic.

For most of this episode, however, it's a guessing game on exactly who killed whom and for what reasons.

The story involves restaurants, food -poisoning a food critic, killing the same critic later, adultery, killing the owner of the restaurant, grinding him up in the kitchen, and a sick father-and-daughter relationship. Yummy.....what a tasteful menu on this restaurant murder story!

Two of the most interesting characters, I thought, were the supporting husband-and-wife team of "Duke and Mrs. Caldwell" (Duke being the killer's best friend). Daniel Oreskes was Duke and Stephanie Roth Haberle, his wife. Also, Kathryn Erbe, as "Det. Eames," had some sarcastically funny lines, as usual and Vincent D'Onofrio as "Det. Goren" showed a great touch of comedy in a scene involving drinking.
