Review of Curious Caterer: Grilling Season

Let me begin stating that I am a fan of Nikki Deloach and Andrew Walker, two of my favorite TV actors, that I have enjoyed watching in many productions, some together. Reason more to regret they have been cast in this thriller with many flaws that defies one's logic and render it not plausible. The obvious intent to render the culprit unnoticeable does, actually, have the effect to make the character stand out since the initial sequences. The final explanation of the murderer's motive is somewhat convoluted and obscure, almost gratuitous. Yet, the real problem are the details. A victim does not fall asleep immediately after being injected a narcotic in the muscles. It should be administered intravenously, for that effect to occur. Conversely, Goldy, after getting an injection of a, presumably, powerful narcotic, could not be widely awake a little time later, when Tom comes to the rescue. Also, an I. V. narcotic in a drink, as the culprit prepares at the end, is not likely to work by that route, besides the likely horrible taste it would give the drink. Then, at the end, why should Goldy be so stupid to the distract Tom and allow the criminal to hit him and flee? Even more, how credible is it that Fran, a very experienced ex police woman, would meet a murderer she is blackmailing in a lonesome place, with no precautions, and let him easily strangle her? The show leaves you wondering who are the bumbling amateurs. The actors? The characters? The writers? The directors? I guess we may have our picks.
