"More Tales Of The City" is actually better than the original. PBS caved into pressure and decided not to follow up the series, which gave Showtime the go-ahead to continue the series. Set months after the original, Mary Ann Singleton (Laura Linney)is more relaxed and receives a letter from her late boss, which contains money. She decides to invite Mouse (Paul Hopkins)on a cruise. On the cruise, Mary Ann falls in love with Burke Andrew (Craig Ferguson), who has amnesia, and Mouse reunites with Dr. Fielding (Bill Campbell).Meanwhile, her new boss Beauchamp (Thomas Gibson)is increasingly angry at his wife DeDe (Barbara Garrick), who is pregnant with another man's child (Who is also Asian), and decides to hire some thugs to "get rid of her problem." DeDe meanwhile becomes friends with D'orothea (Francoise Robertson), who has broken up with Mona Ramsey (Nina Siemaszko), who ends up in a whorehouse in Nevada with Mother Mucca (Jackie Burroughs), who is not only connected to Mona, but also connected to Mrs. Anna Madrigal (Olympia Dukakis). Meanwhile, Brian Hawkins (Whip Hubley) is intrigued by a mysterious woman that he sees through a window. Finally, Mona's mother, Betty (Swoosie Kurtz) comes to town, setting up an interesting confrontation between her and Anna.
There are more twists in this series than the previous one. There's a cannibalistic cult, an unexpected demise, and liberation for one of the inhabitants of San Francisco. However, this is a wonderful addition to the series.
