This five part opener to season six just got worse and worse as it went on. Jack Webb's demand for featureless acting made it dull. The writers' lazy reliance on tired cliché made it tedious. And the decision to copy bad 30s and 40s film noir made it depressing.
However, the whole story made little sense when they "tied it together". Nothing Bailey's original client did made any sense. Why hire a private detective to investigate things that you don't want investigated? LOL Pitiful.
It's very sad. When I saw this fiver-parter coming up, my wife and I were looking forward to it. Finishing this mess turned out to be an exercise in tenacity. We kept hoping for improvement that never happened.
