Thanks for the rec, I will give this one a try.
I've been watching Maltese: The Mafia Detective. If you have PBS Masterpiece subscription. (I have it through Amazon). Its the first Italian show I've watched and its very interesting.
Does anyone know where the firewood stealing people live? I'm guessing Oregon. Also, how did the car stealer loose his dentures? Did they fly out when he crashed the car that he said was stolen?
I was stunned that the ex-CO would be that stupid and besotted to bring an ex-felon into a house with children. If he did 10 years it was for something serious. Also, how stupid must she be to think that the "relationship" dynamic would be the same after he no longer needed to be subservient to her institutional power.
If the kid really wanted to go to college then he could start with 2 years of community college while living with mom and thus have no debt. Maybe he's just not ready to go yet.
Got very strong "control" vibes from the father. He continually tried to interrupt JJ when it wasn't going his way.
Its pretty common to have to front the money for death expenses since you can't apply for the insurance payout until you have the death certificate, which can take a couple of weeks. It was stupid of her to not pay it back. I agree with everyone that the daughter & her friends are probably druggies who would steal anything they could sell. What about the age difference? It seemed like the widow was way older than the dead guy, or was it just a hard life?
