Dale SmithAnyway, watched another #Moonlighting in the hope the ship was starting to turn, but Ms DiPesto was back to a brief cameo answering the phones. Everyone was on a different page: the music department thought they were doing a Hitchcock homage, but it ends as a Bugsy Malone's pie-fight.
A spy gets a few indications he's about to be killed - including Russian agents cancelling his bank account for him because they thought they'd got him on his flight, which is very kind of them to do the admin - and then he is, where David and Maddie can see it.
They are out working as bailiffs, because that's a situation just brimming with comic potential, right? Then David makes a wild leap of logic and the episode ends without actually confirming that he was right, so the next episode might involve charges for attacking the CIA.
It's just not quite there yet, or at least the main part of what makes it there isn't clicking with me: David is often the sole source of the humour in the show, and in the intervening years his humour has come to read for me as a bit toxic. These kids and their woke, eh?
It's a shame: I used to love this show. I may have to fight my own instincts and jump ahead to see if I can click with it again when it's a bit more sure of itself. But I suspect I won't or it won't. You can never go back, it seems. Shame.
