11:00 Riptide
Riptide. Episode 4. "Hatchet Job" Good performances from Thom Bray and guest star Maylo McCaslin are the highlight of this episode. A woman hires the guys to find out who killed her boyfriend three years earlier. It turns out that she might have done it herself. She doesn't remember what exactly happened and she's been locked up in a state mental hospital ever since. McCaslin is very beautiful and she gives a wonderful emotional performance. Bray, meanwhile, gets even more opportunity than usual for a bit of slapstick when Murray decides to pull his weight a bit more and get into the physical side of detective work. It's a lot of fun from start to finish. There are a lot of action sequences, which - in this episode - actually get in the way of a good story. The three leads have great chemistry in this one, and - when you think about it - it's male fantasy TV: car chases and fist fights and a beautiful woman to be saved.
