The Mysteries of Laura (2014–2016)
6/10
It just feels weird... Like I'm being brainwashed in how to behave?
7 May 2015
I loved the first couple episodes but...

Here's the thing... its campy like the detecting isn't stupendous and there are little things Laura catches and happens to know where they make those shoes so the crime is solved? If you don't catch the one thing from earlier... it's lost on you. That part is fine! Cheesy but fine.

BUT! The human lessons here are as if they are trying to train us females how to behave? Don't screw your ex. Let the new guy meet the kids. Be nice to your exes new girl. Be nice to new females who join the team. Put yourself in other people shoes before you judge. Give your dad a second chance. Don't date people at work etc. But they are just feeding us these outcomes, not taking us along the journey on how these lessons are learned. Because they are learned you don't just automatically know how to deal with divorce and exes. And it's usually messy. How lucky is Laura that she gets to skip all the messy parts and just run straight to the lessons and good behavior? It seems very fake and doesn't feel right. Like they are trying to get women to behave better by watching this show? Does that even make sense? Every time I was I am left with this feeling of... so the lesson here today was to let the kids meet your new man and to be nice to your exes new girl right off the bat... so you are the bigger person.. Got it. I want to see Laura royally screw up. I want her to make a giant mess of her life and have to deal with it and fix it. I want to see her bang her ex because she loves him and has trouble separating like a normal freakin messy lifed person.

And you know... You look fab in a dress and swim suit, but what is with the sweatshirts and long coats? A little more fashion please. We get it you are a mom but you are a hot mom and you should at least wear a coat that doesn't say you are hiding 50 extra pounds?

The show seems to forget some of the funny aspects of her giant handbag too. It will be joked about one or two episodes but then when she can use it to take out a skydiver, its just a dumb one liner with a handgun drawn? Meh. I want to see her pull things out of her boobs when she can't carry it.
