Disorganized Crime. Review: Justified – “A Murder of Crowes”

Justified comes back with a new season that’s fresh but still has that familiar feeling we’ve all come to know and love. “A Murder of Crowes” is chock full of dark humor, sarcasm, new characters, and lots of back stabbing, no good, old-fashioned double-crossing fun. “A Murder of Crowes” is a jolt of vitality for this tried and true show. Changing the scenery, adding dynamic characters, and injecting some intricate and sometimes complex story arcs are just what the doctor ordered.

Spoiler Free Advance Review: Chicago P.D. – “Stepping Stone,” “Wrong Side of the Bars,” and “Chin Check.”

After watching Jason Beghe play dirty cop Hank Voigt on Chicago Fire last season, I was happily anticipating his spin-off series, Chicago P.D. (CPD). I enjoyed the tension between his character and Matthew Casey, the well-liked firefighter played by Jesse Spencer on the original series. The scenes between the two were always highly charged, and you never knew what either character was going to do. It was the stuff legendary dramatic scenes, and hopefully spin-offs, are made of. But spin-offs don’t always succeed.
