Any time jeff altman shows up on a baywatch episode you can bet it will be terrible mostly because he is a world class goofball ... miss universe shawn weatherly shines as a baywatch lifeguard that failed to save a regular swimmer that had an alleged heart attack ... too many suspicious circumstances lead shawn to investigate the truth ... she had great instincts

Detective Jill

Two episodes back, Trevor actually got a storyline.

Now it's Jill's turn!

A man drowns near her Tower. She might have been at fault. But could it be....murder? Mitch of course doesn't believe her. Jill though is on the case. Getting some romance at the same time...

Meantime a would be lifeguard starts to impersonate one.

The first storyline isn't bad. It shows us Jill's morning routine at the beach but she still could do with a bit more actual character. Although the actress does fine with what she gets. Supporting characters will obviously not return so you can't get invested in them. And an action sequence is a bit illogical and one line of dialogue isn't clear. Even so, this half is alright.

The would be lifeguard plot though...played by would be goofball Jeff Altman, who would do the same with other characters on more episodes, it would work if it was serious because he obviously has a problem. But it tries to play it for laughs. It's horribly unfunny as a result.

Get through that you and stick with Jill actually getting things to do, and this one ain't so bad.

Baywatch!

Warning: Spoilers
Baywatch murder mystery, yeah I was thinking Murder She Wrote, god. I suppose in that respect it could be worse. Everything is so appalling, other than Weatherly though.

Jill shags romantic millionaire who might be a murderer. More sharp turns than a 5 mile rabbit chase. She kills and saves the same man like 5 times in 10 minutes. It's really funny. The investigation is ridiculous and the horny poser who annoys Eddie is not super clever.
