Corruption and murder with 'Murder She Wrote'
Have always been quite fond of 'Murder She Wrote'. It is a fun and relaxing watch that makes you think as you try to unwind in the evening. If one wants more complex, twisty mysteries with lots of tension and suspense 'Murder She Wrote' may not be for you, but if you want something light-hearted and entertaining but still provide good mysteries 'Murder She Wrote' fits the bill just fine.
"The Cemetery Vote" may not always have the most inspired of plots and some of it is typical 'Murder She Wrote' territory, but actually it's still a very solid episode with not much to say that's wrong. The portrayal of the town and its community is interesting and very nicely done, while the mystery engages and the corruption angle is suitably seedy. The final solution is one of the most surprising, almost shocking in fact, of Season 3.
Production values are slick and stylish as ever with 'Murder She Wrote'. The music has energy and has presence but also not making the mistake of over-scoring, while it is hard to forget or resist the theme tune.
Writing is thought-provoking, light-hearted and amiable and while the story is not always inspired it has some well executed twists and turns and is never dull.
Angela Lansbury is terrific as always, and while all the cast are strong, a superb Ed Lauter (as one of the season's nastiest characters) and an equally nasty Jeff Yagher are the standouts. Credit also goes to Mitchell Ryan playing against type and doing it well.
In conclusion, very solid episode. 8/10 Bethany Cox
