Travis, it turns out, doesn’t care much either. She thinks of herself as a one-woman investigation team, though she’d be a shite detective IRL because nothing she collects would be admissible in court. Amy is headstrong but caring and, once she gets a taste of crime solving, doesn’t pay any attention to boundaries or the law. Amy (Wagner), an English professor and dramaturge for the play, and Travis (Polaha), a police detective, don’t deviate from the norm in the slightest. Stars Jill Wagner and Kristoffer Polaha headline this series, and while they’re total pros here, their characters are not at all captivating. As the police try to keep her safe, they also investigate a series of burglaries at local businesses, one of which sends an officer to the hospital. Not everyone’s happy with Bella’s appearance though, and it’s apparent that someone wants her off the stage when she narrowly escapes a few “accidents” involving a lighting rig and prop gun. Think country estate, unhappy marriages, and an affair with the vicar. She’s starring in a play called Shadow of Death, which is akin to an episode of Miss Marple. The mystery centers around movie star Bella Brightman (Rekha Sharma) and her special appearance at the community theater production in Garrison, Washington (I think), where she also own a holiday home. I’ll be caring a lot more about it, however, if future episodes are like this one, a case full of intrigue and surprise. I don’t remember much about Mystery 101, which debuted months ago, but I do remember not caring for it.
