New York, 1896. Police commissioner Theodore Roosevelt brings together criminal psychologist Dr. Laszlo Kreizler, newspaper illustrator John Moore and secretary Sara Howard to investigate several murders of male prostitutes.
I just finished episode #4 and this journey through the past has a blah feel to it. Murdoch Mysteries, which covers some of the same era has that Something this production lacks. NYC Police Commissioner Theodore Roosevelt comes across like Theodore Cleaver of long-ago Leave It To Beaver. Hes no Inspector Brackenreid, who is a tough, go-getter, like the historical Teddy Roosevelt. As for the Dancing Boys of New York City, the criminal exploitation of preteen boys isnt as rage-inducing as present day Afghanistan practices by Rich/Powerful men. Maybe its the lit by weak candles darkness when Evil stalks the city or the drained-of-color daytime New York City of 1896. Ill look at episode #5 before going North to season 8 of the Toronto Constabulary tales. Episode #5 showed Theodore Roosevelt at his best (at Last!) and the visit to the upstate penitentiary to visit The Boston Boykiller was Hannibal Lechter creepy. A privileged suspect has surfaced, but Police corruption has sidetracked the team. Beware the Silver smiler who fills the bathtub with milk!
