Hidden Depths, S8E6
The opening of this episode is a cringeworthy flirtatious scene irrelevant to the plot so be warned. Other than that, there's a brief scene in which Joyce is wearing a low cut undergarment-- but those two insignificant instances are not why I'm giving this an R (RESTRICTED to only desperate viewers who want to say they've seen every episode) rating! This was not a good episode in my opinion mostly because of the twisted, sick ways the murders are done and the evil of the murderers rejoicing in their depravity. So skip it, in my opinion.
There's no Cully here. Joyce is mad at Tom for leaving her in the lurch once again while she's painting the house. Then he gets himself and Scott locked in a wine cellar overnight -- the same night that Joyce has planned a big night out. Still, Joyce is so accustomed to being left on her own that she enjoys herself anyway, sleeping like a log and not even realizing that Tom never made it home. The next day when Scott frantically calls Joyce to calm her -- she reminds him to ask Tom to bring home some yogurt. And then Scott was sure his "shy" date would have missed him terribly, but there's a funny bit where it turns out that she had stood HIM up that night. Tom almost laughs at Scott, but is reminded to "not forget the yogurt, sir." Cute stuff, but not worth the disturbing rest.
A few old estate houses and small cottages here with a few interiors worth seeing. The atmosphere is a bit cold and cloudy which is nice though.

Second Sight, S8E5
Second Sight, S8E5
Another good episode with not much gore and no sexual situations, so it's PG-13 in my opinion. The mystery is well-done. There's an old English mansion and quaint cottages throughout, but again only some dark interiors. And this episode features A LOT of rain, which creates a nice atmosphere. Cully surprises her parents with news that she's got a job in the theatre, but it requires a lot of roughing it out in the cities with a lot of traveling. This unstable lifestyle upsets Joyce, but Tom, the ever tender husband, calms her fears. On a side note, Scott eats an ice cream cone and has to chuck it away to get to crime solving (a funny bit that made my kids take notice of this show I always watch). There is also a reference to John Nettles' role in Bergerac when Tom takes a look at some of his old photographs. Also, beware that there is a loud wailing baby in this episode, so that gets annoying. But still, this is a good one!

The murders featured in this episode were not as gruesome as they might be on this show, mostly done in by bonks on the head without much gore on display. There was nothing overtly sexual either, which makes this PG-13 in my book. The mystery itself was unique and unpredictable. Cully is sad that she's not getting any work in the acting business so Tom, the ever doting father, cheers her up and gets her a gig at a horse retirement home. Lots of horse racing in this one too. A few striking exteriors, but mainly dark, medieval interiors. The best line was delivered by Barnaby and is likely a joke about the show itself: "When murder becomes entertainment, we all lose touch with reality." This is a good one!
