S19E2: Crime and Punishment begins with a lovely opening scene of the detectives driving through the scenery: vast swaths of greenery, church yard, leaves swaying in the breeze, winding country road. A special-- but too short -- appearance by Clive Swift of "Keeping Up Appearances." We discover that Jamie and Kam have a flirtatious past together, but if the romance will rekindle remains to be seen. The plot uses the familiar neighborhood feuds and family secrets to move the rather dull characters along as it reaches the absurd motive and insane killer. Next episode will feature the return of our dear Ben Jones, so let's go.
