I decided to watch another episode, just to see if the previous episode that I watched was a fluke. But no, this one was even worse. Once again Madam Blanc and the bloke who follows her around (apparently he's a cab driver but I've yet to see him actually out driving a cab) were happily traipsing all over a crime/murder scene, picking things up, moving things around etc etc. At one point the police actually left them there completely alone to do as they please. Later on, in a bizarre and nonsensical twist, the moo-moo wearing Madam Blanc actually had the audacity to scold her cab driver sidekick for walking around the crime scene and potentially destroying evidence. It makes no sense at all, but the writers of this show clearly aren't bothered by that sort of thing. There's another scene in which a suspect is interrogated at the police station. Of course, Madam Blanc (who runs an antiques shop and isn't a police detective) sits in on the interrogation. But this time, the suspect at least had a lawyer present. The scene was approximately two minutes long, and in that time the lawyer didn't say or do anything. They literally just sat there the entire scene and said nothing while their client spilled the beans. I seriously wonder if anyone else on the cast and crew asked what was the point of the lawyer being in the scene? The whole show is really weird. It's like it's written for five year olds. I originally thought the series would be good for a laugh, but I've changed my mind. It's just bad. Really, really bad.
