Featured review
Sad, seedy, and slow
I don't care for episodes that truly bring out the seedy side of humanity, but this is a murder series, so I can accept it occasionally. This episode includes sexual manipulation, preying on the vulnerable — the lonely, the elderly, etc. The murderer gained my sympathy even as I felt repulsed. I was further saddened by the age of the murdered youth. Not children, but young adult. Then there was the dirty old man. Ugh. Just lots of ugliness.
The World War II fighter-pilot theme was a plus, even though the vintage dance did go on a bit too long, slowing the pace further. I enjoyed the soprano soloist in the red dress. Memorably poignant scenes with old Aunt Rosemary, still waiting for her brother to come home from war.
