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 Error of Her Ways" was the best Season 6 episode up to this point (4 episodes in) and even after the season finished it still remained one of its best, and one of its most fascinating, episodes. Mainly because the terrific mystery is one of Season 6's best, being layered and more complex than most in the season, with a solution that one won't suspect until it's revealed.
It was also interesting to see a policeman not wanting Jessica's help (considering her a nuisance), to see Jessica's actions having consequences (not seen a lot up to this point in 'Murder She Wrote'), a rare case of starting with the initial case falling apart, and Jessica facing up to that she has made a mistake after all, despite being adamant otherwise for a while.
Angela Lansbury as to be expected is terrific, while of the guests Barbara Parkins and Susan Blakely personify classy glamour and Elliot Gould has material that allows him to be a capable actor when allowed, his chemistry with Lansbury was crucial in working and was great in driving the story.
Production values as ever are slick and stylish, with one of the most beautiful settings of any of the show's mid-period episodes. 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. The writing is mostly thought-provoking, light-hearted and amiable.
Overall, one of Season 6's best and a wonderful episode. 10/10 Bethany Cox
