Annoying elements
pmitsi-113 September 2022
Warning: Spoilers
  • Dt. Watts empathizes for a family that was faking and lying from the very first scene of episode 1. They all belonged in the cells.


  • The abused wife goes back and murders her husband after she put her whole family in a mess to get away. What is the point of it?


  • Both lunatic sisters escape - so we would have to endure that ridiculous story arc even more!?


  • Dt. Murdoch got out of character twice. He had made a child before marriage after so many seasons about his chastity. And then we learn he went back on his word - something he had never done even when talking to the worse of the worse.


  • For some reason I could not get into liking of his son. The is an entitlement in that boys manners that made me actually dislike him.


  • After so many fuss about Anne Furlong, we deserved at least a glimpse of her or a direct token of he being alive. I would expect her to directly contact Murdoch once she was in NY, since he was supposedly with her son.


  • The script writers went into so much fuss to make Mrs. Hart a character that we can slightly relate to. And then make her a fully-fletched psychopath, sociopath and I believe she will soon become a merciless killer.


  • To be fair, there are some elements that I did like:
(a) The counter-art of George Crabtree that helps Murdoch.

(b) The fact that they did not give the story with Julia's patient a fairytale ending. Too many pleasing conclusions would make these two episodes even worse.

(c) That Inspector's son is incorrigible. It would be very unreal if all the relatives of all the main characters are model citizens. This is the same reason that I welcomed the fact that both Murdoch and Watts had sisters that so many issues that pushed them to completely abandon their families and then show zero amount of regret.

Review of last two episodes of s14 and opening two of s15
boxyfella22 February 2022
I have to agree entirely with MsDJH's opening post and his essential points. Two many individual stories going on at once.

I think the subplot with George and the deranged sisters will run and run. I would have liked to have seen that one to a conclusion. That poor lad has no luck with the fairer sex.

This show seems to have badly lost its way. I'm not sure why. Has the writing team changed?
