WITness SECurity

[akicork · 9/10 · 18 July 2019]

I think this episode fairly well nails what this series is all about. It's not really about the crime, detection and running around (usually) avoiding getting shot. It's actually about family, comradeship, love and protection. The standout has to be Martin Landau (Is anyone surprised? Surely one of the greatest actors.) as the aged mobster realising that it's safe to reunite with his family, so understated, with (I think) Andy Comeau (again understated) as the video director undergoing a change of heart, comparing his contracted expectations against what he comes to see as the marshalls' actual lives. Joshua Malina comes in there too with his sympathetic portrait of the deep-seeing counsellor (and auto dealer) Peter Alpert. Then we have Mann and Dershowitz as the Guardian Angels, suddenly revealing that they're actually best of buddies (well, OK, I'm dense, but I hadn't caught on before!). Then at the end Peter Alpert gives Mary an objective view of what her relationships really are. Her need for security picks up on what Peter says, and she is able to open up to Rafa with her deepest secret - what she does for a living. She protects.

Loved Landau

I have to admit I generally don't like ep's of this series despite watching it. The reason I can't put a finger on because so many of the actors I enjoy and frankly I've become a Weller fan.

But having grown up with Landau on a # of shows and movies, I did enjoy this show largely because of him. I'm guessing this was one of his last roles and he truly did it proud and well.

I cried

It was spontaneous when Joe met his family. Didn't see it coming...waterworks! I decided to write a 14 year late review to tell all about it.

Crabby Mary

[Jackbv123 · 4/10 · 14 November 2019]

Mary's persona is supposed to be crabby, but this episode she was too much. Simple as that. Otherwise the episode was a bit shallow because so much energy was spent on her being a witch.
