Leverage: The Future Job (2010)
Ethically spurious
Ethically ambiguous as necromancy is wrong and may lead to the wrong paranormal sources and voices.
The main fault lays on the clients' side. They are the pusillanimous ones trying to break a (super)natural border taking life and and afterlife in their own hands, even at the cost of their existence.
The fraudster is as harmful as a dealer who sells fake drugs, or as a "parental control" doctor who fulfills fake abortions.
Plot is still interesting though, acting particularly exaggerated e.g. by the blonde team member (thief).
Of course the fraudster would have been able to talk himself back to freedom at the end as seen at his rhetorical and empathic gifts before. One random finding of a (well hidden) microphone by a random TV-show guest seems not enough for the conviction of the host.
7/10.
Cold Case: Glued (2004)
Tension is spoiled. Plot uses a stereotype.
Is there any post 90s crime show/story, in which a racist was not the convict?
Sure, racism is bad, but if in the mind of writers racists are automatically killers, they should write different plots or leave a plot like this to an action film where the guessing and with-thinking, about who the convict is, is uninteresting.
Since the 11th minute you know who committed the crime.
It's like when a petty mustache or a bad shaving reveals the convict in a Mickey Mouse crime comic on the first page.
(Overall Rating of series 9/10)
