Review of “Give ‘Til it Hurts” – Season 1, Episode 8

After the mid-season break, Backstrom and his team are back solving the hit-and-run murder of a wealthy women. This episode does a good job not over-bearing the audience with offensive remarks and jokes, which seems to be a catching trend in the newer episodes. Also, the relationship between him and his ex, Amy, takes an interesting turn. For a full review check out the Review tab.

Review of “Bogeyman” – Season 1, Episode 5

My personal favorite of the four shows that I have watched so far. This show is very crime focused and not so much about building up the character of Backstrom, except that this case is re-occurrence from the past. The rude humor that normally saturates the show, was almost absent. For a full review, see the Review page.

Review of “I Am a Bird Now” – Season 1, Episode 4

Probably the most risky and offensive of the episodes up to this point. The bright spots of the episode come when the audience sees the inner turmoil that Backstrom is dealing with over the person that he killed. I did like this episode the best out of them all though.
