Featured review
A very tangled episode
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.
"Weave a Tangled Web" is a well done episode with some nice surprises along the way and does a good job with the bigamy theme and its consequences. The mystery is engaging if standard, though it was a case of Jessica perhaps a bit too compassionate. The killer's identity while not a massive shock when putting all the clues together, but the final solution was pretty clever.
On the other hand, Angela Lansbury is terrific as ever in the role. William Windom plays Seth with his usual curmudgeonly charm and Ron Masak and his character of Mort Metzger is settling in quite well if still appropriately fish-out-of-water standard (considering that it's only their second episode).
The supporting cast are strong, especially Pamela Bellwood in "Weave a Tangled Web's" juiciest role. George Chakiris is underused a little but makes the most of his screen-time.
Production values as ever are slick and stylish. 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 thought-provoking, light-hearted and amiable All in all, very well done if not a favourite. 8/10 Bethany Cox
