Gourmet Detective: Eat, Drink, and Be Buried

What a boring movie. Like all the Canadian movies. It's like a soap but in a movie. We can count on one hand all the good movies Canadians did

Anything with bruce boxlighter in it, well, its like trying to watch a cat eat a porkypine

Maggie has to be the most inept cop ever. This is the fourth time she's been disarmed by a suspect. She'd have been dismissed or put on leave a long time ago. Cops are taught to be alert and ready for anything, yet over and over she manages to get herself into situations where a suspect ends up with her gun.

That said, I like the chemistry between Henry and Maggie. I also enjoyed seeing Henry make peace with his dad. I'm hoping to see that relationship bloom more in the next movie in the series.

Henry and Maggie attend the birthday party of a local publisher, where his son and stepson reenact a historical 18th century dual. Someone, however, has loaded the antique pistol with a real musket ball, so when son pulls the trigger, he kills his stepbrother in front of a roomful of witnesses. Henry and Maggie have to figure out who wanted the stepson dead and why.

Another above average Gourmet detective episode with a likeable lead actor and a bossy lead actress, though she comes across here less grating with her sarcasm as shown in other episodes. She can be still harsh in her statements to her boyfriend-consultant. The suspects are top notch, there's enough twists to keep one absorbed.

The warmth between Maggie and Henry was gone. I know Maggie was supposed to be mad at him for not sharing more of his personal life, but their chemistry was DOA. Not to mention movie flaws. When Maggie and Henry go into the barn to talk with a suspect, Maggie is wearing spiked heels. When they walk out to find Colin, she is wearing flats. Contrary to what producers and directors think, the TV audience is not stupid. We pick up on all of these bloopers and it really makes television shows and movies look cheap. Im my opinion the Gourmet Detective series is done. They would have to do some real CPR on it to try and save it. I loved the first 3 but really disappointed with this one.
