    Bad acting + bad writing + bad execution = boring episode

    This episode feels like a high school theatre play with bad acting, bad writing and bad execution. Also this is another case they didn't solve with actual evidence as they do 99% of the time with this show. Our detective just talks to a bunch of people and decides who the killer is without any actual evidence or proof. He just has a "feeling" and finds the killer like a psychic.

    Long dialogue after long dialogue after long dialogue doesn't make an interesting show, it makes a super boring story.
