Criminal: UK (2019)
Ensemble acting at its finedt
Such an original idea, only three sets: The interview room, the other side of the mirror, and the hallway between, with the coffee machine. Yet, the characters have depth, you get an idea of what their lives are outside of work, and each actor, including the guest actor (the interviewee) has a chance to show their talent. It's riveting television!
Inspector Dupin (2018)
I GOT PAST IT
It is odd to watch the subtitles in English if a series about a Parisian in Brittany, the actors speaking German, until you realize it's not so uncommon. Poirot is in English, machine a German watching it w/subtitles! It's very well done & worth watching. 😊
Jesse Stone: Benefit of the Doubt (2012)
Good Thing I Took a Nap
I could watch Tom Selleck sit and think for hours -- and that's pretty much what I did in this latest Jesse Stone episode. It was slow, but that's Robert B. Parker for you, and yet I return to the Jesse Stone novels just as I will for the Tom Selleck portrayal of our flawed hero. Two small things that bothered me: One, Rose is portrayed by 61 year old Kathy Baker; did I understand that she had a baby 3 years ago? Maybe I misunderstood that. Two, Jesse wakes up in the morning and is freshly shaved. With a beard like his, I don't think so. Oh, a third problem: Jesse never did talk to the dead Chief's wife and we never saw any closure for her dad. Did I mention I could watch Tom Selleck for hours, even if he's sleep-walking through a murder mystery?
