Pure, cheap slapstick. Insulting to the average intelligence. I suffered the first series, and even began to like it, but this episode I left half way through to its utter silliness.

What the heck happened to the writing? I really enjoyed Season 1 and was shocked that he became an entirely different person in this opening episode of Season 2... and not for the better.
He was the perfect combination of a vain actor disillusioned with his wife and his life in Hollywood and a small town man finding his way home and his true self. His comedic touches were great and the camaraderie between the three of them was refreshing and fun. Loved the Police Chief too. The way he began to appreciate Harley's smarts was delightful. The show had a warmth without being hokey.
This episode was dreadful. I didn't recognize his character at all and it was an insult to anyone's intelligence. The new chief didn't fit in at all and everything was disjoined. I hung on to the end ... regretfully. I'll try a few more episodes to see if it settles down but I'm so disappointed. I recorded the whole of Season 1 & 2 in the Hallmark Easter marathon so the contrast was glaring. I'll just delete Series 2 if it doesn't improve but how he could suddenly become this over-the-top "actor" when he's been appropriately "normal" in season 1. The team camaraderie was completely gone. Worse still we are supposed to accept the passage of time taken to become a PI with his "consulting" position almost forgotten. Dis the writers think their audience would accept this?
A huge NO from me.
