Well, Simon, here we are alone once again. No one is here to stop us from committing any type of mayhem we wish to. Yes, mayhem seems to be our middle name, doesn’t it? I remember when we were young and always getting scolded for being somewhere we weren’t supposed to be, or taking something that didn’t belong to us. There are so many tales we could tell.
Mark GagnonPublished 5 months ago in CriminalReview of 'Slow Horses' 3.1-3.3
Whew! The first two episodes of the third season of Slow Horses begin (after a prelude) with a shot at Ringo, of all people, with River telling Catherine he doesn't want to waste time on a file because it's "Ringo-level". I wasn't completely sure this was about the Ringo -- Ringo Starr -- but who else could it be, I mean, it surely wasn't about Johnny Ringo, the out-West outlaw. But I didn't know for sure until a bit later in the first episode, when there's talk about "George-level" as below "John-level" and "Paul-level," so yeah, the new season is off with a bang,
Paul LevinsonPublished 5 months ago in CriminalThe Most Ridiculous Motives for Murder
We may not condone murder, but certainly understand some situations require us to protect ourselves or loved ones at the cost of another person’s life. Sometimes, we may even feel that a person ‘deserved’ what they got”, as their actions in life were so horrific that they merely wasted fresh oxygen. Neither situation applies to the cases I’ll discuss below, undoubtedly those with some of the most ridiculous motives for murder you’ll ever hear.

Novel AllenPublished 5 months ago in CriminalReview of Bosch: Legacy 2.1-2.6
I caught the first four episodes last week of the new (second) season of Bosch: Legacy on Amazon Prime Video, the post-Bosch series in which Harry has moved from LAPD to private investigator (still living and working in Los Angeles) and his daughter Maddie has joined the LAPD. I thought and said the original Bosch series was the best cop show on television, and the first season of Legacy was even better than Bosch. Well, so far the second season is sheer dynamite, emotionally, and in overall storyline and acting -- and even better than the first season. (Queue The Beatles' "It's Getting Better All the Time".)
Paul LevinsonPublished 6 months ago in CriminalThe Man Who Killed Halloween
Halloween. A time when children dress up and take to the streets to collect candy from their neighborhoods. Ghouls, ghosts, vampires and witches go door to door and say “Trick-or-Treat!” while holding bags or buckets out awaiting a handful of candy. Most parents don’t think much of the candy their kids get, doing a cursory look over the pieces looking for the obvious signs of tampering. But what happens when parents don’t? Or, what if the tampering isn’t something that jumps out at you right away? What if the person who did the tampering is a child’s own parent? This is exactly what happened in Texas in 1974. Every parent’s worst Halloween nightmare came true.

Love can make us do crazy things. From grand gestures like proposing in front of thousands of people to small expressions like writing love letters, we all indulge in unique ways of expressing our feelings for our partners. However, some gestures can be riskier than others, and the consequences can sometimes lead to jail time.
