It's fun to approach HETTY WAINTHROPP INVESTIGATES as the biography of the world's foremost MURDER, SHE WROTE cosplayer. An English pensioner decides she's not going to let Jessica Fletcher have all the fun, and opens her own investigation agency -- after recruiting a criminally young hobbit. OK, the metaphor breaks down, people. But we had a lot of fun debating the difference between a pond and a fountain, whether or not murder accusations follow middle school fart logic, and how old you have to be in order to get really creative with the swears.

How confident is this show? The pilot of this show introduces the main character as she shoots a dog. And not in an "Old Yeller" kinda way! This shows has an exposition dump about salami. This show lights a freezer like it's a portal to the Twilight Zone, has boars eating a human body, and names a pathologist after a medieval fox. My friends, this show has no f*&%$ to give -- except when it comes to closing old cases, and we love it for that.

We've got a really trashy episode for you this week! The 20-teens version of Sherlock (nope, not that one -- the American one with Lucy Liu) goes looking for a left-handed archaeologist and discovers the sordid underbelly of urban development along with '80s video game urban myths. But first we tackle the really big questions: Is there anything better than an answering machine for delivering exposition? Is pie the official food of private investigators? Will Jacob ever remember an actor's name? 

We watched ELEMENTARY season 4, episode 5, "The Game's Underfoot." Spoilers ahead!

After taking it away from Max, Netflix took Dead Boy Detectives to the max! They test the premise in simple ways (turning a crow into a heartsick teen), inventive (using a magic bag to hide from a demon from the depths of Hell) and macabre (I guarantee you have never seen sausage links used like this). And we finally get to do some legit bonkers guessing! But do we get it right? (And where do the Dead Boys get their office supplies?) We watched Dead Boy Detectives season 1, episode 5, "The Case of the Two Dead Dragons." Spoilers ahead!

It's a guest star extravanza! This show has the same number of guest stars as Maigret creator George Simenon had maids that he slept with. (It's more than you think!) This hard-boiled, early '90s take on a 1950s detective has smoking, stripping, saxophones direct from the '80s -- and famous people doing depraved things for love and drugs. Did the cognitive dissonance keep us from guessing whodunnit? Or can we actually get a win? We Watched Maigret season 2, episode 1, "Maigret and the Night Club Dancer."

This is the end -- or the beginning of Season 2! Jess floats (and gloats) in an amazing victory while Jacob deals with his feelings. We exult in the power of the side eye in a close up, revel in the madness of a punning mass murderer, and clutch our pearls over the possibility of an Evil Ira Glass. Plus, Jacob denies every having worried about getting his nuts crushed in an elevator. We also hand out some Christies, because we finally finished Season One! We watched Only Murders in the Building, season 1, episode 10, "Open and Shut."

It's another how-catch-em! Even after we know the criminal, can we guess how they catch 'em? Is Elsbeth really just Batman with tote bags? Can you make it rain with Post-It Notes? Does Nancy Silverton's latest cookbook give us a clue as to how the murderer is caught? Listen and find out as we watch Elsbeth season one episode 7, "Something Blue."

Is the game "Peek-a-Boo" true crime for the pre-K set? Does a body double know you better than yourself? And does Jessica really think Only Murders is like the Barbra Streisand / Nick Nolte romance about childhood abuse "Prince of Tides"?

We're on episode 9 of Only Murders in the Building Season 1. Are we finally close to learning whodunit?

There's so much musical theatre talent in this episode we nearly burst into song. We didn't, but we did create radio plays based on TV and theatre's on-again/off-again relationship. Jessica makes an incredible faux pas around murder boards while we launch an investigation into whether a BMW or an old Volkswagen bus make a better bitchin' private investigator car. But can we guess the murderer correctly? #sohelpmetodd

Follow me now into an episode of mirrors where our fake-crime fan podcast about a TV show about a true crime podcast that stages a play with their fans to create a fake ending to their totally made-up real mystery. I think the idea of "meta" just collapsed under the weight of this conceit. Can we salvage some correct guesses out of the rubble? And where can we find a floor plan for the Arconia?
