Review of Dead End

A Touch of Frost: Dead End (2008)
Season 14, Episode 2
7/10
Frost as Classic Hero; Doesn't Quite Work
3 October 2015
For some reason, I could not get involved in this episode. It follows on the heels of one of the better offerings of the year. In this one, a driver and a conductor are kidnapped. He, because of revenge; she, because she sees the face of the kidnapper. They are put in a place not unlike the victims on "Criminal Minds." They are terrorized by this man and made to believe that their days are numbered. This brings into play the fact that the man had lost control of a bus and ran down members of a family. There is a lot of intrigue involving a band of young punks who are going around flexing their muscles. The conclusion, considering what we know about Frost, seems rather improbable. The other thing that seems really strained is Frost's adversarial interaction with a former partner, who turned on him, betraying him to his superiors. It just comes up a bit short.
