Rating 7It's all here. The opening of this episode is one of the most effectively moody of the series. It leads to an incredible first half hour where David and Maddie get caught up in their first great car banter scene, Maddie's dull home life leading to an obsession with the dead disc jokey, D+M going to the house, David's jealously fueled rendition of respect (such a funny scene). Such a shame the episode's initially intriguing mystery collapses, becoming mind-numbingly predictable. This unfortunately weighs down what was clearly the start of the Moonlighting magic. I gave it a 9/10. The magical opening is just perfect and so atmospheric. But the final third of the episode becomes too goofy and the overall tone changes. I often think Moonlighting would have been better if they had 90 mins like in the pilot. They would have had more time to really flash out the story and characters.
