Featured review
New Trick Season 1 Episode Interesting Hippie years
This is about a murder that took place in the 80's where a bunch of protesters camped out in tents. There were people that were undercover cops and infiltrating the protesters.
The secret police find out that UCOS is investigating and go to Sandra Pullman's apartment. Sandra seems to easily tempted by men, she is an easy catch. She allows the men to come into her apartment thinking there is only one with a flirtatious look. She is disappointed when she sees two men.
Anyway it is 20 years later and they have to find out who killed "Josh". Some of these protesters have high paying jobs now and are well respected. The protesters were also using drugs. Some thought Josh was a mole in the movement and they thought that is why he was killed. It comes out 20 years later why he was murdered and it had nothing to do with the cops or peace movement.
I did not like this episode though I like the characters who are all great actors. Gerry is funny, Brian is smart and kind of nuts, Jack is smart and talks to a stone in his yard with his wife's name who is dead. It helps him sort out things, Sandra the boss is nice at times and other times she is a real angry woman who reminds of someone who has drinking and anger problems in real life. PC Clark/Chiké Okonkwo knows a lot of history, is good on the computer and finds info that UCOS investigators need.
One thing I did not know is that Brian's wife in New Tricks "Esther/Susan Jameson" is married in real life to Jack/James Bolam who is also in the series and works with Brian. Ester plays a very kind and understanding wife married to a recovering alcoholic who is also on a lot of medication. When Brian acts nuts it is so funny.
I wonder how this married couple deals with these interwoven character parts. Amazing.
