Ellery Queen (1975–1976)
10/10
Really entertaining, should have lasted longer though
11 June 2010
I love murder mysteries, they are often so gripping, compelling and fun, everything Ellery Queen is. If anything, as I have said already in the review title, this show should have lasted longer, I saw no real reason why it ended the way it did. The stories are entertaining and keep me interested and sometimes surprised at the outcome, and the dialogue has plenty of intelligence and wit. The series is also well-photographed with nice use of locations and the music was a great touch. Jim Hutton was a very ideal choice for the absent-minded and clever Ellery Queen, and David Wayne(who I was introduced to after seeing the underrated musical biopic Tonight We Sing) is note-perfect as the Inspector. There have also been some very effective guest stars, too many to list really right now, as well. Overall, this was a really entertaining show, that ended too soon. 10/10 Bethany Cox
