Lincoln Rhyme: Hunt for the Bone Collector (TV Series) Russian Roulette (2020) User Reviews

More research needed....

The acting and research needs to improve with this series...

Personally, I find Lincoln is like a robot. No real sound and emotion to his voice. Where all the others seem to provide depth, which adds to the story telling.

Then in this episode, a girl is kidnapped and has been gone for 5 years. Then when she is found in a dark and dingy setting, she immediately runs and hugs her rescuers and immediately embraces her parents.

I'm no psychologist, but I know the emotional distress caused from that kind of absence and being locked in solitary for that long, would leave her in such a state she wouldn't be able to recognise her family. Let alone have any impulse to run and hug them, along with her rescuers that she doesn't even know.

This series has a long way to go to get me hooked.

Russian Roulette

The actual Bone Collector takes a rest this week. Too busy chopping wood although there is a woman who is interested in his work, his lab and even threatens to break into it as she is big fan of crime shows. Obviously random strangers talk like this in everyday life.

The main plot is a woman hears a scream late at night, there is blood in an empty house. By the time the police arrive, the house has been cleaned from top to bottom in bleach.

The house is located in a Russian community where people keep to themselves and distrust the police. It is obvious that people are lying and hiding something.

Lincoln and Amelia discover a link to a missing girl who disappeared five years ago. It seems the person murdered might had been the abductor who was intending to snatch another girl.

A fast moving episode with a happy ending of sorts but I am sure when a girl has been locked inside for 5 years, the thing you do not do is shine a bright light to their face.

The dialogue and some scene still remains clunky as ever.
