Sandra's TV Reviews

We have watched the show since Day 1 and were very disappointed when Mandy Patinkin left the cast. The show has not been the same since his departure. I catch about a third of the episodes now. The producers seem to stress rather gory murder/torture "themes" recently which are a real turn-off. The show was much more interesting when it was written and produced as a complex "whodunit," rather than as a series of murder/torture episodes. I hope that Mr. Patinkin returns in the future and that the writing also returns to a more interesting, less gory style. In the past, this series was interesting enough to watch because of the complex plots. It did not need the shock value of the murder/torture, drawn-out scenes that seem so prevalent now. We are disappointed at the new direction of this series.
