Solid Entry, HORRIBLE Music!

This is yet another solid, well done and mostly enjoyable entry in the McBride series, with a good plot. I love John LaRoquette and his sidekick Matt Lutz. The real drag in this series continues to be the inane, irrelevant, truly horrible "music" by Ewan Johns, which has nothing to do with what's going on!

Always a Mcbridesmaid

This is another in the series of 'McBride' TV movies that the Hallmark Channel runs. The series is pretty much in the model of the TV Perry Mason in which John Larroquette directs and stars. The mysteries, which are solved in court, are excellently composed classical mysteries with plenty of red herrings scattered about to baffle the viewer.

This one is no exception and the result is good, if not outstanding: the continuing characters have a bit of history, but the elaboration of the mystery does not lead much room for them.

The sharp-eyed viewer may recognize Charlie Robinson, who appeared with Larroquette in the TV series NIGHT COURT, as a judge.

Cosy and fun

In this episode, McBride takes on a case involving a dog accused of killing its owner, leading to a quirky and intriguing legal mystery.

The premise is unique, revolving around whether a dog could be the real culprit behind a murder, or if there's a more sinister human hand at play. Larroquette brings his usual charm and intelligence to the role, making the courtroom scenes particularly engaging. The episode mixes humor with suspense, especially as McBride digs deeper into the case, uncovering secrets and motives that go beyond the initial assumption.

"Dogged" maintains the series' signature blend of lighthearted banter and serious legal drama. The plot is well-paced, with enough twists to keep viewers guessing until the end. The story's unusual nature-defending a dog in a murder case-adds a layer of novelty that sets this episode apart from more conventional legal dramas.

Overall, "McBride: Dogged" is a fun and clever episode, showcasing the series' ability to balance mystery, humor, and courtroom drama. It's a must-watch for fans of the series and anyone looking for an offbeat legal mystery.

Mike McBride: [narrating how the murder took place] You got yourself to the ladies room, and you went down the hallway, checked to make sure no one was in there, hung up the Out of Order sign, sent the text message to Frank to meet in the loading bay, changed into your disguise, then, you went to the loading dock, and shot your husband. Then sent Laurie a text message to bring her to the loading dock to be discovered. You went down the hallway, purposely getting caught on the security camera, so that everyone would see, that the killer could walk. Then you went back into the ladies room, and changed again, place Laurie Carter's hair in the wig. After that it was just a matter of dumping the disguise, making sure you left the wig behind.
