Much better episode
Design8814 June 2022
Finally, this episode is more like the older seasons. Agatha is still bossier and less empathetic than in seasons 1 & 2 but she's much better than she's been. The pace is better and the smutty remarks seem to have stopped. It's a good story and it's a nice balance between the leads and the posse!!

Story suffers from featuring the main character

Warning: Spoilers
Maybe I allready posted this reaction in a different chapter but now it's less an anomaly. It seems like the whole credibility of this series is sacrificed for the annoying way the main character is put down. Some how she has to be a fashion freakshow all throughout the story that it leads a live of it's own. It's allready hard to maintain plausibility without this misplaced behavior. The whole series involves about the amateuristic behavior of the so called PI squad which make them stumbling upon the truth by accident al the steps of the way which is as big as a surprise to them as to us. That was more then enough for the first couple of season's. A small thing in the series was that they at least get suitable clothing if they decided to break in or get in some kind of secretive operation were fleeing is bound to happen. Now she wears 5 inch heals all the time. And still manage to keep up with characters on sneakers and athletic shoes. And you can name a dozen if these small things which combined kills the story. So it's hard to give credits for the story anymore. I keep following the series nonetheless only because the chemistry between the character and the content of the case at hand. Beside, there only an couple of episodes a season. Skip this if you have a better use of your time or should it be only a different use of time.

Love, Lies and Liquor
Prismark1014 January 2023
James Lacey has whisked Agatha to whirlwind beak by the sea. She was hoping for Mauritius. It turns out to be Snoth-on-Sea.

James had brought her to the Palace Hotel, a place where he visited a lot during childhood. Now it is a faded relic and empty.

Geraldine Jankers and her obnoxious family has scared off the other guests. Agatha gets into a fight with her. James does the same with her lousy son.

The next day Geraldine is found murdered by the beach. Agatha is the main suspect and the rest of her friends need to clear her name.

Geraldine had been married several times, she acquired a reputation of a golddigger. Her former husband was a jewel robber and maybe Geraldine knew the whereabouts of the hidden loot. Later the former husband is found dead.

The hotel itself has a malevolent presence, a kind of Shining.

Broad acting, too many homages to the Shining. Enjoyable as long as you keep expectations low.
