Nolan and the gang were dragged into the world of a true-crime docuseries on The Rookie Season 3 Episode 7. Other shows have gone down this interview the characters route with mixed results. Castle did it once and I absolutely hated it.
But this installment of The Rookie felt like just the light-hearted episode that we needed.
And realizing that I called it "light-hearted" when there were two murders tells me that perhaps I need to cut back on my true crime series viewing.
A man had his eyeballs ripped from his sockets, for goodness sake. Thankfully, off-camera.
There's something about our favorite shows that we watched as kids that endures. Whether the show was great or complete crap doesn't matter. The sense of nostalgia is magic and can stick with us for the rest of our lives.

The beauty of loving films is that no matter how many you’ve seen, there are so many out there still to be discovered… One of these for me was The Reflecting Skin which is being released this weel on Blu-ray. It’s a true hidden gem that needs to be seen…
The Reflecting Skin is set in the American Mid-west in the 1950s and takes the viewpoint of Seth Dove (Jeremy Cooper) who becomes obsessed with the fact that a widow, Dolphin Blue (Lindsay Duncan) is a vampire. When one of Seth’s friends is found dead, all eyes are on the boy’s father who has a history that puts him under suspicion and the pressure leads him to commit suicide.

The Reflecting Skin
Directed by Philip Ridley
Written by Philip Ridley
1990, USA
The Reflecting Skin is not your average vampire movie. I’m not even sure if it is a vampire movie, nor am I sure the movie knows what it wants to be. Although, most people easily label it a psychological horror film, The Reflecting Skin is not a film that is easily pigeonholed. It appears to be a film about the trauma of growing up and more importantly, growing up with a dysfunctional family that is haunted by their past. And it’s all told in a series of twisted events.
This independent feature was the directorial debut of Philip Ridley, a British painter-illustrator-novelist who had supplied the script to Peter Medek’s mesmerizing 1990 gangster film The Krays. The Reflecting Skin was celebrated as one of the unique films of its year and received a good deal of favorable reviews.
