Why wouldn’t any woman fall in love with Gil Mayo?  He’s an intelligent guy, a cop, buys “collectibles” (they are NOT toys), stays at home when his teenage daughter tells him he should go out and meet people, is actively searching for someone who has seen his errant wife in the last year or so, […]

Everyone knows the story of Robin Hood, who returns from the Crusades to find the people of Locksley in dire need of justice, with an […]

When I saw that Lloyd Owen of Monarch of the Glen was taking the Kyle Maclachan-inspired role in the BBC America show, Innocent, I immediately wanted to watch it. The American version of this show, In Justice, aired for 13 episodes in early 2006, and introduced us to a team of law students dedicated to […]

I first met Trevor Eve as the dashing criminal investigator in “Heat of the Sun”, a PBS Mystery mini-series, also starring the wonderful Susannah Harker (from the wonderful British mini-series Ultraviolet). It was set in 1930’s Nairobi and involved all sorts of criminals, from murder, arson, and drug-running, to blackmail, banditry, and slave trading. […]
