S14E3, Echoes of the Dead

 

S14E3: Echoes of the Dead

The opening scene is both quaint countryside and village murder. Intriguing (and the reason many of us watch the show). Wonderfully acted and directed. And of course the killer is demented and his motive insane, but the atmosphere is just like the original few episodes of Season 1, echoes of the past, indeed. The murders are definitely gruesome, and that I can't justify as entertainment, but, nevertheless, I watch to see the bad guy get caught and the victims get some earthly justice. And that's what our detectives do--solve the mystery and capture the evil one! Hell was created for demons like him. WARNING: Do not look directly at any dead bodies ever on this show, especially the 2nd one here (it was the absolute WORST of the series)! And references to deviant sexual toys will slap the innocence out of anyone, (why did Jones have to say it, though? Well, better than Barnaby saying it). Poor George, these terrible murders are getting to him. He may want to retire soon. Some brief nudity in this one. The ending had my full attention, very gripping, and nice gesture at the end with an obviously upset Barnaby taking some time to wipe away a bit of the horror. ANYWAY, the exterior of the Barnaby's home is so lovely, just like all of the Barnaby homes have been, and watching the couple discuss historical killings over dinner remind me of Tom and Joyce.
