I like the Joey Heric episodes because of the levity they offer. They're like Hitchock-style "perfect murder" stories with all the fun twists and turns, not meant to be taken seriously. The problem with these episodes is that this show is often ridiculous even when it's being earnest. This one would have been better had Joey Heric actually turned a new leaf and won the case. For this silly twist to happen now, for a third time, only adds to the million silly twists that have happened since the last time Joey Heric got off. It's no longer the fun reveal it was in the early seasons.

Get Rid of Him
Hitchcoc3 July 2022
When Joey Heric shows up all reasonableness goes out the window. We know that in the end his obfuscations will get him attention and put some poor sap in jail. Never him, of course. My problem is that it's the same old thing with John Laroquette mugging and everyone wondering what he is up to. Stop going to this well, please. It's so boring.
