Do Crime Better! - the theme of the episode. This time we are covering season 1 of Moonlighting from the 1980s! We discuss how the criminals in this procedural are not very good at crime and how the investigators tend to just fall into solving many of these. We also talk about the lack of depth to the main characters and how David is so annoying from today’s lens that you tune him out while Maddie’s character gets siloed into multiple tropes. This is considered the first successful dramedy so we knew we had to cover it. Join us on this wild ride of a show!
