As always, I love the series and wish there were more like it being made now. Excellent writing, plot, story line and characters make it work.

This episode, was nicely paced and the way it switched back and forth from incidents kept me watching with interest. The way the two detectives working out scenarios and as new clues are found kept changing and reevaluating their theories seemed realistic to me. The low key pace was great and the background music as always was terrific. The sound track just adds to the feel, is never intrusive but there with impeccable taste and always appropriate.

I have come to really hate episodes of tv shows that have two , or three stories that aren't connected to each other in 45 minutes. Can't the charectors all come together and interact!? Or can't you write two stories that turn out to be connected? Or why can't there just be one well written story that everyone works together on? There were plenty of those in the first two seasons of this show. But from season 3 on ward I feel like they changed the format. And have two or sometimes 3 stories going on at once so I can't focus and Da Vinci is only involved in one of them and is kept seperate from everthing else. I find that hard to accept becuase the show is called Da Vinci's inquest. So he should have more focus otherwise they are not writing properly to match the title of the show. I really enjoyed the first two seasons. I felt there was more of Da Vinci and he interacted with Mick and Leo much more. Also I felt they let you know more about Da Vinci in the first two seasons. You saw way more of Da Vinci's private life in the first two seasons. You saw him interact with his daughter and ex wife. You saw a few of his relationships with women They addressed his problems with alcohol and showed some AA meetings and some bar scenes. Now if you watched after season 2 and you never new any of that you probably wouldn't know that Da Vinci's an alcoholic. You would hardley see him with his daughter. He hardley talks to Mick and Leo. The show is called Da Vinci's inquest. Can't I just have one good story per episode that everybody works together on? A few of these types of episodes is fine. But not if it becomes the norm. It's to procedural and you feel so distant from the main charector. I hope the show improves in the last few seasons. And I hope Da Vinci's City Hall doesn't continue this problem.
