  • wiki: link / link

The final two episodes of the Second Season of Only Murders in the Building allow for Charles (Steve Martin) and Oliver (Martin Short) to deal with their own personal discoveries while Mabel (Selena Gomez) makes the pivotal connections to solve the case connecting Detective Kreps (Michael Rapaport) to the All Is Not OK in Oklahoma podcast. While our intrepid trio initially suspect Cinda Canning (Tina Fey) of being the mastermind behind the murder in order to create a more popular podcast, for the true brains behind the crime they need to look no further than her assistant Poppy (Adina Verson) who has her own twisted tale to tell.

Remington Steele – Steele Away with Me

  • IMDb: link / link

Wayback Wednesday takes us back to a con man pretending to be the world’s greatest detective in Remington Steele. Returning for its Second Season, the show saw some major shakeup to it supporting characters with the off-screen departures of both Murphy Michaels (James Read) and Bernice Fox (Janet DeMay). Rather than recast both characters individually, Michael Gleason decided to create a new character to fill both roles offering us the introduction of Mildred Krebs (Doris Roberts), an agent of the IRS on the scent of tax evasion who will follow Remington Steele (Pierce Brosnan) to Acapulco but ultimately end up on his side in a mystery involving diamond smuggling and murder. While I miss the mostly underutilized Janet DeMay, Read’s character had outlived his usefulness at this point, and Roberts makes a great addition to the cast adding a completely different kind of energy to the show.

Justified: City Primeval – The Oklahoma Wildman

/ / Television Reviews
  • Title: Justified: City Primeval – The Oklahoma Wildman
  • IMDb: link

Justified: City Primeval doesn’t wait to bring Raylan Givens (Timothy Olyphant) and Clement Mansell (Boyd Holbrook) together while using Carolyn Wilder (Aunjanue Ellis), who apparently is the only lawyer in Detroit, to tie the two separate storylines from the first episode together. While the first meeting between the pair isn’t memorable, the second leaves an impression as Givens beats Mansell up after finding him with his daughter. My guess would be Wilder would return with a legal angle to keep Givens, and th local cops, away from her client, but I’m also guessing egos on either side won’t allow that to last. The episode also sneaks in Maureen (Adelaide Clemens) doing a little thinking for herself and likely Sweetie (Vondie Curtis-Hall) working on an educated guess potentially providing one or both leverage against Mansell later in the series.
