Moonlighting: Portrait of Maddie (1985)
Season 2, Episode 8
6/10
Homage to Vertigo
29 November 2023
As they've done before, the writers have created a story that brings to mind Hitchcock's Vertigo. Maddie strolling through an art gallery, the portrait ( like Carlotta). Even the music beckons back to Virtigo.

I never watched the show first time around, but I'm enjoying it now. The eighties references. The witty repartee between Maddie and Addison. And the chances they take with each episode ( ie the black and white noir episode).

The mystery itself was not much of a challenge to figure out. But that is sometimes irrelevant. Some scenes are too long. This was typical of the era though. It still works.
