As Luck Would Have It

My wife and I watch a mystery every night. It's something we've been doing for years, which means that I always have to be on the lookout for new material. This seemed to fit the bill nicely: a retired criminology professor turned Podcaster solves mysteries as a sideline, much to the disgust of her police detective daughter. Yes, it's a well worn plot device but with a few good actors they can usually manage to pull it off, or at least make it bearable. Not this time. Stereotypical meddlesome mama, amazingly obnoxious daughter with the hapless partner caught in the middle. The acting is terrible , so bad it makes you want to root for the bad guys. The last time I watched something this bad it was a Hallmark mystery, and I deleted all of them. This makes me want to bring them back just to improve the quality of our TV time.
