Murder mysteries are stock in trade for television, everyday there is the detective’s lot in finding a killer, and the only thing that changes is the reasoning of the one committing the heinous crime, or the personality of the one investigating them. The genre never grows tired, but it can become a little predictable, the staleness is inert and takes a genuine talent and insight to give it the value and respect that many plead for in the modern age.
