THE GLADES “Moonlighting” Review

THE GLADES Moonlighting Season 2 Episode 4

THE GLADES “Moonlighting” Season 2 Episode 4 – While watching the latest episode of THE GLADES “Moonlighting,” I expected each commercial break to say something like “This episode was brought to you by Nascar.” Jeez, talk about taking product placement to a whole new level. Anyway, mini-rant over, back to the episode at hand.

The murder investigation was pretty well executed. Classic Longworth. Jim was throwing his usual irreverent quotes while making us guess all along who the murderer was. Part of me hoped that it would end up being Tony Stewart so that there was a reason to arrest him for something, since bad acting is not a crime (ok bad acting might be overstating it a tad, but I would certainly not quit my day job if I was him).

I loved that Sharon Lawrence got to play the killer as her performance of the mom, who would do anything for her family, was impeccable; that last speech she gave was intense. All and all, a nice little murder investigation with a satisfying ending.

The Callie and Ray storyline was ….well, it was what it was. I guess they had to get rid of Ray in such a way so that he would stop being in Callie’s life, but would still be present somehow. The fact that they didn’t kill him tells me that they are still trying to milk this conflicted situation.

Ultimately the writers want us to see Callie as a good mother and don’t want her to come off as a hussie who is seeing another man right after her husband gets whacked. As a result, we get a sad Callie who gets to find well deserved consolation in Jim’s arms. Ahh, I am on to you, writers.

So in summary, there were two major storylines in this episode of The Glades “Moonlighting”: the murder of a nascar mechanic found in the truck of his car and the Callie-Jeff drama brought on by Ray’s beatdown. One of these two storylines was boring as hell and and the other involved a murder, an accidental pregnancy, a bank robbery and a wannabe Danica Patrick.

Guess which storyline I liked best?

I really like the Glades, but the Callie storyline with her torn between her feelings for Jim and her loser husband are really getting old. Jims boss telling him to stay away from Callie is also ridiculous. I’m hoping Ray is found and killed off.

I liked the crime and I just love Carlos-what a great dad, but the Jim/Callie thing I”m already sick of it. Move it forward or end it.

Amen to that.

*laugh* See, I’m of the opposite view. I love the Jim/Callie stuff, and last night, my favorite parts were the personal stuff. *shrug* To each their own, I guess!

Agreed, to each his own. Glad someone is having a good time at least.

I found the Nascar episode unbeliveable but I don’t care for the sport. I think MP does. Great. It was actually a study in turn it off. I have never seen a show where busloads of gorgeous femalea were brought in. Must be a real ego trip. By all accounts MP is a great guy. I like him so much I’ll say NICE Going. KIND OF ELVIS & BEATLES. I only watched parts of season 2. Real bad. I really love this cast and hope they turn it around in season 3. IMHO I feel they brought the Callie/Jim thing along too fast. Clayne Crawford may be a loser on the show but he can act I’ve seen him in earlier roles and he is a cutie in his own right. A different type then Jim. OH WELL what will be etc. Its still a great watch for a Sunday night. One hour a week is not a lifetime.
