Solid Hitch. Pudgy lie-about Waldren (Buffington) is a leach. He's fastened onto sweet older sister (Dunnock) and her taxidermist husband George (Jones). She waits on him hand and foot while he lounges in George's favorite chair, contributing nothing and expecting everything. Because of his devoted wife, George puts up with the no-good. But how long can this last, especially since Jones, as we all know, specializes in sly parts. And what about that stuffed warhorse, Napoleon. He's a real oddity for a TV show, so something's up.
I'll watch anything with prune-face Jones. He was so deliciously sly, always being underestimated with his insignificant appearance. Kudos too to Dunnock, plus Buffington who gets a thankless role. But why is the kid not credited by IMDb—he's got more lines and screen time than everyone but the principals.
One reason, I think, for the series success is the casting. Crucially, no concessions were made to Hollywood glamour except when warranted. Certainly there's no pizazz in evidence here, just drab, as it should be. So sit back and enjoy a solid Hitch, though you may want to skip the epilogue.
