    Truth and Consequences

    Unfortunately even the appearance of 'West Wing' favourite Richard Schiff doesn't do much to lift what is a rather odd and plodding episode towards the end of the first series of 'Becker'.

    It, much like the episode earlier in the series with Becker's wife, just never seems to get going, and feels like a filler episode as we head towards the end of the first year.

    Yes, it has some good moments, but I can't say it made me laugh overly hard, or that the story commanded my attention.

    Every show has its less than great/under par episodes, and to be fair, 'Becker' series one hasn't had many, so perhaps its forgivable here.
