It's virus isolation time and we're in the market for another British crime series when we happen upon Blue Murder. Decent rating in IMDB so let's give it a try. What is this? There's a real murder in the first few minutes and occasionally they seem serious about it, but the most of the time it wanders into bad sitcom territory without a laugh track. I really enjoyed Barney Miller decades ago, but didn't expect to run into it again in a homicide incarnation. Another total turn off is a sound track that feels completely wrong for a show like this. Some kind of upbeat jazz that is played very loudly. Again, it feels like the soundtrack from an American 90's sitcom has been layered on this British murder mystery. We sat through the first episode, but won't watch the concluding second episode. We don't care who did it and the characters didn't interest us enough watch them stumble to the answer.
