OK, so I am not the most educated film buff in the room. Who cares?
Seven years after the show aired, my cousin recommends I watch "Sunset Boulevard", a 1950 Billy Wilder film noir product starring William Holden and Gloria Swanson. IT STARTS THE SAME WAY THIS ENDS: dead guy floating in a pool!
And now I get it, because Season 8 is entirely film noir!
Man! I LOVE this show! The tossed-off cryptic quips, historical allusions, film references, and pithy zingers ...
I watch each episode with my finger poised on the Pause button and Google at the ready.
That makes it a classic, 10-star TV series.
(And, sigh, I miss Jessica Walters.)
