Performance Rating
 |
Managing somehow to be both
distasteful and deadly dull at the same time, this episode has little to commend it apart
from Roy’s interesting little cameo. His breathy portrait of a private detective
captures the imagination and you wish he’d had more time to develop this character.
Intriguingly, there are certain similarities between this detective and the character of
Danny Le Blanc in Dark Eyes, the series that
never made it past the pilot (1994). |
