I absolutely shriek with delight at seeing Mannix sniffing the mail and either putting a letter to the side or smiling at an envelope. Enjoy all the times that happens tbh.
Let's get to the actual meat of the episode. You really need to suspend disbelief for large parts of this episode. Starting from the very beginning to the very end imo.
I've mentioned in other reviews about my theory of the writers writing Mannix as being a sex god. I can get behind it. But I also have a theory for Peggy. The writers write Peggy as knowing practically all the black characters she comes in contact with. It makes me think of a scene from 'Roseanne' during one of Dan's poker games. Leon is at the table and he's a gay character. There's some awkwardness about Leon outting himself at this poker game. The joke comes into play that just because Leon's gay doesn't mean he knows gay Bill in Chicago. So I feel like thinking something similar for Peggy when it concerns black characters. And let's be honest, Peggy's not a fuddy fuddy but she is a serious character. Both these MEN are too wild to be anything more to Peggy besides maybe passing her on the street, bank, grocery store, etc.
Emphasizing men on that last section because it never fails to crack me up when you have men being addressed as boys. Toby is a boy. These drunks aren't boys and I'm sure the actors that had to address these men as being boys must've enjoyed that since there's probably only a few years age difference going on.
The injured drunk....wow, I want that man's energy levels. To have a gunshot wound and he's not getting woozy or fainting, it's impressive. I'm flat on my back while being depressed out of my mind and barely have the energy levels to get out of bed.
There's a suicide attempt in this episode. I get the feeling I'm missing something. I'm watching Mannix on Metv so they might cut a chunk off due to the serious nature of the content. I'm a bit iffy on if the suicide attempt makes sense at all. I must admit I'm reading between the lines here. The descriptions and script paint these two guys out as being friends, being brothers but I think they were more serious than that imo. So there's a part of me that feels it could drive another person over the edge if you had the feeling you betrayed your lover.
It does have an interesting premise for the episode. Two characters are acting out on the scene but they're being blamed for murders they didn't actually commit. It's an interesting idea but it could've used a bit more ironing out when it concerns some of the flaws. It's still an episode worth watching imo.
