“I See London, I See France, I See Maddie’s Netherworlds”

We are into the final stretch for the Moonlighting series rewatch as we are up to episode 8 out of 13. This one sports one of the longest titles of any of the episodes.

This episode is basically Weekend at Bernie’s meets spy thriller. A man named Harry comes to see Dave and Maddie about hiring them as a bodyguard, but he dies in Maddie’s office before they have a chance to talk to him.

The rest of the episode was filled with comedic bits surrounding the dead body and Dave and Maddie’s attempt to figure out what was going on.

The episode was marked with Dave and Maddie being buried up to their necks in a grave, with their heads sticking out like you sometimes see at the beach. Their banter during this time was meant to be funny, and, for the most part, it was. The best line was when a dog came over and Maddie was afraid the dog was going to mistake her for a fire hydrant. She started barking at the dog, scaring it away. Maddie then delivered the line of the episode, “I guess I can be a scary bitch.”

There was also a fun dream sequence after Maddie gets hit in the head with a gun barrel. She dreams that she had died and that David was the Grim Reaper.

There was a most suggestive scene that takes place in the shower that amazingly made it past the network censors.

Overall, this was a silly episode with some fun moments. It is right with the tone that the fifth season tried to portray to the audience.
