What can I say that has not been said already? This show has the potential to be the best thing on TV -- British, American, or Canadian. I find it usually brilliant and refreshing.
But suddenly, for the last four (count 'em 4) episodes, we have had a blatantly homosexual emphasis forced on us. I expect these things in 21st century shows, but I have a problem believing that everyone was openly gay in the late 19th and early 20th century.
A mouth-to-mouth kiss? Really? And as others have noted, the usually ingenious Murdoch and Crabtree are suddenly the Keystone cops.
This show had an agenda that was only hinted at in the last three, but blatant in this one: we will write a bad episode just so we can make you watch something you really don't want to see.
When these shows are about Murdoch and George and their delightful co-workers, they are as good as it gets. When somebody is allowed to distort them like this episode did, we all feel as violated as Murdoch was in the last scene.
