What I'm Watching: Women's Murder Club

Women's Murder Club: Season 1, Episode 9 "To Drag and to Hold" (B-)

I will give the show some credit for dealing with the Tom-getting-married thing without making too much of a fuss. Lindsay's scene where she extends her "warmest congratulations" is an example of a good usage of that plotline, but her calling just as Tom was saying I do and Heather's less-than-inspired speech telling off each of the club members are a bit much. The supporitng characters have really come into their own, and I will admit that I am growing fonder of each of them. Cindy is particular would be a lot of fun if they gave her more screentime, like they did in that episode where the guy hopped in her car. The end of this episode is a nice fresh point to start from, i.e. we have now moved on from Tom (though that was not a bad arc). This seems to be very "Profiler"-esque, utilizing a villain who has a true affection/hate for his number one pursuer. Jack-of-all-Trades on "Profiler" killed Samantha's husband - hopefully one of the women's murder club members will not have to die. "Women's Murder Club" returns.....who knows?
