After a long, job-induced hiatus, the Major Crimes review is finally back with more season 2 goodness. It simply is my favorite season of the show. So, without further ado, here is Under the Influence, in which we get a car chase, a blood-covered suspect, a serious contender for the Mother of the Year Award, an annoying Hollywood writer, and a seriously badass Captain Raydor.
It has been a while since I posted the last review, but life has been pretty crazy, and probably will not calm down much any time soon. I debated waiting and posting the reviews for season two during the summer, in time for the tenth anniversary, but if I keep that up, we’ll still be here in five years, so I’ll post them whenever they are done. I do apologize in advance for the delays between posts that will absolutely happen, but I do hope that you’ll enjoy them regardless. As always, I’d love to hear your thoughts on the episodes.
So, without further ado, the first episode of season two, in which Lieutenant Provenza is grumpy about feeling old, Flynn is trying to buy himself a few more years, and Sharon and Rusty get to deal with a new DDA.
