I can't stand the American South. Just hearing that accent coming out of someone automatically makes me feel like I'm listening to Gomer Pyle.
Though most of the episodes off this series are interesting, this one sticks out, for all the wrong reasons.
It takes place in Alabama, and a young college student's found murdered. The cop (who was involved in the case, and who's one of the narrators) says, she had no enemies, 'she looked like a professional hit.'
It blows me away, that someone in the 21st century would have this come as this idiot's first thought in a case clearly in the middle of armpit America.
A 'hit man'? How about you close your comic books put down the beer and chips, and go (back!) to cop school, moron.
Then, the brilliant m.e., says he ran a drug screen on her, followed by 'we run a drug screen on everyone, so we can then figure out whether they were under the CONTROL of ILLEGAL substances (I emphasise this, because it's so hypocritical; this is truck driver land, which had popularised moonshine, CB radios, and crank).
This is 1980, in hick-land, this isn't Miami vice, nor is it Scarface.
The drug screen came back ... drumroll, please, negative.
They can now safely say it wasn't a bit by a drug dealer (these yokels are real! Aside from being utter country bumpkins, it's pathetic).
They then decide she's a 'good Christian girl', as if no one who believes in Jesus ever did drugs, shot a porn film. Whenever they say something as idiotic as that - or the opposite, how the big cities are 'sin'places, we may have more murders, etc, but we don't have people who constantly say such nonsense, and then are found to be child molesting rapists, or bubbly thumping priests who diddle little boys.
Get real! Get educted! They're the American equivalent of middle Eastern fools who hate America, hate the West. They're just as uneducated, yet neither of these groups can see how similar, and how utterly dangerous they are.
I'm not going to spoil this episode. I will say, avoid it. This is scraping the crud from the bottom of a barrel.
