You’re Killing Me

Series Premiere

It’s somewhat disconcerting for Brooke Shields, now 60, to be seen as something of an old fogie, but she carries it off with good humor in a light mystery series set in a Hallmark-adjacent New England seaport. Sheilds stars as celebrated mystery-romance novelist Allison “Allie” Chandler, the toast of quaint Founders Cove. Like Murder, She Wrote‘s Jessica Fletcher, Allie has an uncanny knack for attracting dead bodies, and when a close friend is fatally thrown from a window during a local mystery convention, she gets to work. But hot on her heels, and often one step ahead of her, is brash young true-crime podcaster Andi Walker (Amalia Williamson), who scoffs at Allie’s brand of “escapist boomer fiction,” though in time-honored tradition, they soon form a grudging partnership. Tom Cavanagh (Ed, The Flash) co-stars as Jack Kerrigan, a newly installed chief detective fresh from Baltimore who initially seems more of a bystander as Allie and Andi smoke out a killer.

    While anticipating the last four shows of Stephen Colbert, I'm also taping Jimmy Kimmel as I transition to watch him after Thursday. His insults of the president may be a bit more egregious but he's just as effective in the humor department so it's all good!

      You think Kimmel's insults & criticism of trumpty-dumpty is more egregious? I admit I've only heard some of his comments, the ones that make the news, but I have a hard time believing his jokes could be more barbed or cutting than Colbert's. I've sometimes thought that Stephen may have gone too far. (And I loved every minute, knowing that the Orange Idiot would be watching, hahaha!!)

    FBI's finale for me. The show continues to be a reliable, steady workhorse for CBS, even though it never gets the type of attention that other shows get.

    So Brooke Shields is headlining a murder-mystery series. Hmmm, add this to the shows starring Jane Seymour and Lucy Lawless also solving mysteries, all of whom follow in the footsteps of the legendary Angela Lansbury and the recipe that she popularized 40 years ago. Interesting that these shows headlined by 'golden girls' are popping up.

      Yes agreed, FBI is one of the more reliably consistent dramas we have. Chicago PD is also very reliable plus it’s the most gritty and realistic procedural I watch.

    FBI and CIA on CBS. If FBI losses OA , that would be very detrimental to the show as he is the best agent on the show.

    Last night’s Tracker was more boring than I thought it would be. Although Jensen Ackles did provide some much needed humor.

    Still remains an underwhelming drama and highly overrated.

    Next week is the season 3 finale and that will be my last show to watch until next season.

      Yes, Tracker was a little on the unbelievable side, to say the least. When the show first started, the dead father was painted as some sort of backwoods huntsman eccentric (to say the least), but now he's being described as some sort of altruistic genius who wanted to help the mistreated young kids. This show has moved into sci-fi territory with the 'remote viewing' thing. And that whole storyline of the Big Bad Government agency stealing kids and killing their parents.... I'm not exactly a big fan of our government these days, but even so I wouldn't believe it capable of that sort of thing. In any case, the two guys learn that the young victim is being held in a very secure, well-fortified facility, and yet they just decide to infiltrate with the plan of "Come on, we'll just wing it." Really stupid writing all the way around.
