Episode fifty one - "Touching Evil" (season two, episodes one and two)

Oh, the nineties, the decade of crime drama that just keeps giving! Touching Evil is at the gritty end of the scale and has all the tropes we have come to know and roll our eyes at. There is bad arterial spray, good arterial spray, creepy killers, and very low lighting. And at the end of this episode you may understand why we have only been communicating with each other via Jimmy Nesbitt gifs all week. This wasn't our favourite, but at least we have Robson Green's "piercing blue eyes", and "sexual charisma" (not our words) to help us along the way. 

Pour a tumbler of whiskey and let's get yelling at that murder board!

This episode contains descriptions of fictionalised violence, and, of course, is full of SPOILERS.

Our next episode will be on The Inspector Lynley Mysteries, season one, episode two, "Payment in Blood." This is available on BBC Iplayer in the UK, on Britbox and HBO Max in the US, and on Britbox and Hoopla in Australia.
