    EP7 Destroyer Dec 22, 2015

    Diver and Karen contemplate running a story about Jack's affair with Dianne, whom they think is a drug dealer, unaware that she is actually an undercover cop. Jack is doubtful that the case is over, thinking the corpse isn't Kent's. When Kent goes to snoop at LA Notorious, he finds the photos of Jack and Dianne kissing. Thinking the Hollywood Slayer search is over, Paco requests to lead his own case. Later, he and Jack are told that the charred body doesn't belong to Kent; Jack then finds the photos of him and Dianne on his car windshield. Karen confronts Dianne about the affair, unaware that the killer is still at large. Meanwhile, Kent and Betty plan an alibi for her for the night Jimmy disappeared; Kent plants Fly Brand cocaine in Jimmy's car, while Betty plants an auto shop bill in his house. Dressed in costume, Kent approaches Dianne at her club and buys Fly Brand off of her. Betty makes a tearful statement to the cops about having an affair with Jimmy in order to protect herself. Elsewhere, Kent breaks into Jack's house and leaves a copy of the photos on his daughter's bed. Jack, angry about the killer having power over him, starts a fight with Paco, but eventually tells him what's going on. When Jack arrives home, he comes clean to Allison, who storms out of the house. Paco informs Karen and Diver that the killer took photos from their office and now Dianne is in danger; he then goes to Dianne's apartment to warn her, and the two leave without noticing Kent hiding. Jack returns to the Whisky on the advice of Dianne, and is approached by Kent in a disguise.

    EP8 Goodbye Norma Jean Dec 30, 2015

    Kent approaches Jack, saying he is not the killer. As a concert begins, Kent runs off, with Jack chasing after him. Jack catches him and takes him into custody. Karen tells Diver that Kent called her again, and his request for her to write a piece on Jack and Dianne's affair convinced her to do the opposite. Allison finds out that Vicki lost her virginity, as well as that Vicki knew about her father's affair. Kent is granted a phone call; he calls Betty, setting their plan of getting him free. During the interrogation, Jack makes Kent look at all the compiled evidence. Kent continues to claim that he is being framed. He says that his grandfather is the killer, but Jack isn't convinced. Kent then claims that it was Dave Keller, his co-worker, but no evidence can back the theory up. Karen does a TV segment warning the people of Los Angeles to stay safe. At the club, Dianne is told that Karen has been looking for her, as well as a "blonde chick" which later turns out to be Betty. Paco tells Jack that they found Fly Brand cocaine and a missing girl's ring in Dave's car; Jack says that Kent most likely planted them there. On TV, Karen tells the world that she is the voice of Kent's victims. Betty kills another girl and drops the body at the Santa Monica Pier, prompting Jack to realize that Kent has a partner. His captain gives him an hour to find Karen, in order to identify the Hollywood Slayer, or Kent goes free. The body at the pier ends up being Karen's. Back at the precinct, Jack angrily lashes out at Kent as he leaves custody. Six months later, Dianne returns to work at the police station. Paco and Jack vow that the next time Kent and Betty make a kill, they will catch them. Kent and a visibly pregnant Betty are shown living in Chicago. The series ends with Kent dedicating Foreigner's "Feels Like the First Time" to a new victim.

    Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

    Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

    Been watching the new ABC series "Wicked City" I must say that it's blended well with drama and suspense to make a viewer interested. As it follows the times and trail of a serial killer in the city of L.A in 1982., or should I say that of a serial killer tag team. As the killings taking place are done by that of a man and woman team! And the scenes of dead bodies and chopped heads and cut limbs are gross and typical with all crime dramas it features abductions, and missing women. And the sex scenes are a little sexy yet sadistic for a network TV series, and interesting is how each week the detectives follow the cases with clues and searches. The quotes and sayings really capture the times of the early 80's most catching are the movie and political quotes. And the fashion and cars shown are very early 80's. The biggest treat is the early 80's music played during each episode it takes you back as the music helps carry the show. "Wicked City" is one series that cuts like a knife with drama and sadistic suspense while punching and throwing a jab well with the times of pop culture of the early 1980's.

    After 2 episodes, I think this one may turn into a winner--I'm wondering if they might get bogged down in the whole "period piece" thing of the 80's because frankly, I didn't even pick up on that until halfway through the first episode... but the entire second episode put it right in my face. I absolutely love Taissa Farmiga in everything she's done so far, but in this series, her acting is horrible. I don't know whether it's on purpose or not, but she'll say a line and THEN react to it; like, "He tried to kill me..." in a deadpan and then she'll remember she's supposed to look like she's surprised. She's a doll, though.

    If you are looking for an exciting fast paced drama after the disappointing line up fall has had to offer def. check out Wicked City. ABC def saved the best for last saving standout actor Ed Westwick (Gossip Girl) paired up with the equally talented Erika Christensen. The two take us on a Bonnie & Clyde like adventure filled with lots of action, suspense, & great musical soundtrack. The series is different in that you see each point of view given its own substantial air time and instead of waiting episode after episode to find out who did it (Pretty Little Liars) anyone which can be tiresome we already now! The excitement is in the chase of will they or won't they get caught! Westwick shows just how diverse his acting is and this is just the beginning of what is shaping up to be an amazing life long career for the young British Actor. The cast also features Taissa Farmiga popular for her work in (AHS) and Jeremy Sisto who has had many great roles over the years as a sharp but flawed detective dealing with issues of his own. Gabriel Luna & Karolina Wydra are ones to watch as well! Be sure to check this series out of you are looking for a fresh new series to dive into! Also the series will take on an entirely different case each season which will keep things interesting although I will personally miss the steamy chemistry between Westwick & Christensen on screen.

    "Wicked City" came across as different in a good way. Probably should be X-rated for sex. The blonde nurse was a main char. in Parenthood. She played a married lawyer with a stay at home dad for a husband in Parenthood. In Wicked City Betty isn't as high IQ. It was difficult trying to distinguish the main cop from the serial killer as they both had plenty of facial stubble and similar hair color and hair cuts. We noticed the background noise blocked out the dialog sometimes; we couldn't turn the volume up at 10-11 pm. Will record and watch during the day next week. We both gave it an excellent rating. Many of the shows that began new in October we've dropped already because of difficulty seeing and hearing, so we're trying to stick with this one. For the first half of the pilot I thought the main cop might be the serial killer, but the confusion was cleared up later.
