When a popular philanderer is killed in a hit-and-run, the entire charitable community becomes the unlikeliest of suspects!
Their biggest problem is being rich bitches.
Whether its with the hit-and-run case or his not-booty call with Amy Gazanian.
This episode feels like a lot of jumbled pieces from former episodes.
Not long after hes griping about a suspect, Terminal cancer, huh?
Talk about overdoing it with the alibi.
Later on hes stealing food from the homeless at a shelter.
Yeah, same old Backstrom here.
This sub-plot mostly fizzles too.
But perhaps this material will eventually build to something.
We see Backstrom get his pedometer in this episode, yet weve seen him using it before.
Everything about this entry feels normal and ordinary.
She has the dialogue, What do you think it stands for, you smartie pants, boys?
and its said with complete sincerity.
Theres even an obligatory cringe-worthy, Is thatBackstrom?
thats uttered just to remind you that youre watching a pretty lazy television show.
So while this episode is a lot of fluffy fun and goes down just fine, its not enough.
We solve the hit-and-run down to the wire and the results are essentially irrelevant.
We need to be building to something or at least see these characters learning from these lessons.
Just the fact that he doesnt push his way out of the limelight is whats important.
Were not there this week.
But maybe well get splattered possum next Thursday.
