(ps - The second story was super annoying - they were utterly inept at deception. At one point they are supposed to be whispering and were speaking so loud it was unbelievable. I mean, I would make a better spy than these two. It was a nice try for a series, but that last story is clearly why it was not picked up for more.)

Partners in Crime
In this post I'm referring to the Brit TV show, not the 1980s Lynda Carter/Loni Anderson vehicle. (But, believe you me, if I could find that on DVD, I would certainly buy a copy and review it for y'all.) Alas, this post is about the David Walliams/Jessica Raine 2015 series. I am three eps in, so that means I've finished the first story in the series, and I've got disc two coming up next. The second episode had me pressing fast forward a bit when the suspense was annoying and I just wanted to get to the bit where I was certain all was well for our leading man. Aside from that part and well, the fact that Walliams and Raine seem more like brother and sister than spouses, I am really enjoying the show. Especially the fab costumes and Clarke Peters playing Julius. He was the best. I loved his lush voice, dapper duds, hep cat 'do, and just his entire performance. In looking through his filmography I've seen him in several things, but didn't make a note of his name til now. I read some reviews on Netflix and IMDb about the show and most were pretty brutal. I had never seen the original series or read any Agatha Christie novels (ooo! sidebar....maybe I should look up some Christie audiobooks....) so I went into this show with a clean slate and zero expectations. Regardless, I'm glad I watched it and I'm looking forward to the final three episodes.
