It's not that he's a terrible singer, he's just completely mediocre. I wonder if he wrote that song; he was really hamming it up with his performance.

I can't even remember what the plot was for the latest episode, as I was traumatized by that horrific song Ridley sang at the end. Good Lord. So now he's back with Annie and they're going to buy out the sleazy partner 'somehow', even though he just handed 5K over to *schlubby cop* (can't remember his name)?

Very enjoyable- fabulous scenery and interior design, and I love Judith's outfits. I have to wonder, though, how a dog walker affords that nice stone house, and a retired archeologist came by that HUGE riverside mansion. Also kind of hoping Beck's horrid husband is the next victim.

So will the cancer cure that 'Freddy Klink' bought and squirrelled away end up somehow saving Hendrik, or will it just push him into finally getting treatment? These tough, high-powered detectives sure are lousy shots.

I'm having the same problem with this one as I did with 'Magpie'- I keep losing track of who's who/reality or fiction, and trying to remember each story line. I admit I'm usually doing dinner cleanup during this show, though. I do love watching for the fashion/clothing, interiors and scenery.

I was fairly entertained by the 2 parter, and no singing! I felt like Adrian Dunbar was actually using some of his acting chops for this one. However, I eyerolled at the police woman (don't recall her name) wearing leather pants, although I suppose they could be useful if she wiped out while in pursuit of a criminal. Also annoyed at the conversation with her partner about how getting married was a big deal that they had to think about-apparently HAVING A BABY TOGETHER was not so much??

Agree. Plus the poorly-acted unhinged daughter and the heavy-handed 'symbolism' with the caged bird.

Yeah, we'll see him 'fall in love' with a baby the same way he did with the dog. Ugh.

Uh, the pathologist now plays a saxophone in the morgue? I don't find this series very gripping, so maybe i missed this 'character development' in past episodes? I suppose it was meant to be poignant or something, but it made me snort.

Another 'cozy' detective series (which I'm sure has been mentioned here) is Madame Blanc Mysteries', set in the south of France. I usually detest this kind of thing, but in addition to the scenery, I appreciate the unfiltered/aging actors. The mysteries are basic at best, but the characters are so appealing that I enjoy watching them bumble around. Anyway, the show has been renewed for a fourth season: Season 4

But it's not a moisturizer or a bug repellant- it's a deodorant! Even if the hiker's thighs were sweaty/stinky (doesn't she try to sniff them at one point?) who cares? Does she fear offending the squirrels or something? Different topic/annoyance- the public service ad urging people to get the RSV shot, with a bunch of idiots laughing hysterically. It goes on and on. Also most of them sound like they already have asthma or emphysema, but maybe that's the point?🤔

I know it's Paul Simon's song to do with as he wants, but I hate that ' You Can Call Me Al' is being used on a BMW ad. Yeah, it features Al Roker, but seriously? What's next- 'Homeless' on a Zillow ad?

What am I missing with the Honeylove bra commercials? All of the users end up with squashed-looking uni-boobs. I can buy that these things 'lift', but they sure don't 'separate'. And the way the models hoist, jiggle and fondle their boobs must make this a fave with men of all ages 😉

Maybe this was discussed long ago (I only read back 3 pages here), but how sickening is the 'spit-take' ad from Sprint! It was kind of funny the first 2 times, but it just goes on and on and on.

I admit I've always liked the J G Wentworth (877CASH NOW!!) ads, because the opera singing is pretty good, the jingle is super-catchy and the costumes are funny. There's a new one that made me laugh the other day, with the 'opera' being done in a roller rink .Roller Rink Opera
