I am totally with you about this show... And I already got S1!I would give my left nut and half of what I ever made to have a daughter like Alexis. How the frack did she end up so normal and responsible and... just nice!?! Her pop and "Grams" are both... well... looney toons...
I seriously love this show, I really need to buy Season 1 on DVD - even my mom has gotten into this show in a big way.
But I tell ya, that was one twisty mystery. I totally did not see the last 15 minutes coming. I suspected that boss too, but I didn't suspect that the other gal was another double. That was unexpected. I love this show.
I missed the reason why Alexis was at the station. Was it some sort of internship or school-related placement that Beckett helped set up? I wonder if her gig in the file room will continue or that was just a one-episode thing.
I think what made it work so well was the weight they gave her involvement. She didn't solve a case. She didn't change the world. She just made herself useful and did something thoughtful - both things completely in line with her character as presented so far.Okay, forget what I said about not wanting them to contrive ways to bring Alexis into the squad room more. She was great here. She got her own mystery, and she even got her own "epiphany triggered by some random thing somebody else said" moment.
I enjoyed the somewhat surprised look he had on his face when he saw Alexis the first morning dressed in slacks, a blouse, and leather jacket. Anybody else get a "Beckett starter kit" vibe?
Another solid offering that was fun to watch.
In the meantime, I've put in an order for HEAT WAVE at our local library . . . .
Good idea! I just finished a library book today and wondered what I should reserve next.In the meantime, I've put in an order for HEAT WAVE at our local library . . . .
I love this show. It's so much fun. Nathan Fillion is just so easy to like. He's a natural. So far they've managed to nick all the good things about Moonlighting without the over-the-top craziness. Let's hope it stays on this side of the line...
