Notes: This is the first time an ep is named after a soap opera. What's next,
"Guiding Light," "As the World Turns"? Wait a minute, back
in season 7 we had "Passion," albeit before NBC brought to the air
with the additional "s."
This ep was a true soap opera, and guess what it was OK for me. I liked the
fact they only focused in on two suspects without weaving too much back and
forth. The preliminary hearing idea was great too. I didn't know that NY law
allows that. That seemed to be a California thing with OJ.
BTW, this ep was based on the Bill Cosby situation where he had an affair with
a woman and the illegitimate daughter of his threatened to extort him. When
Cosby's son died on an LA highway, some suggested the two were connected.
In any case, I liked the ep overall for keeping me intrigued. I can only hope
that if Mr. Wolf and co does a show like this, I won't snooze like some of the
other attempts to copy daytime soaps.
