Women's Murder Club Recap: "To Drag and To Hold"

Wow. Watching Women's Murder Club was a total drag. Writing up a lengthy review on it and to have it completely erased is an even bigger one. Save, and save often. Well, here goes Round 2. The first draft would've been much more entertaining and less bitter, but aside from wanting to throw my PC out the window right now, I am not feeling much for this TV program. And as gorgeous as Angie Harmon is, there is no way this show measures up for her. What was she thinking? Sex and the City meets CSI this definitely is not.

Okay, so the show interweaves the lives of four women. The lead, played by Harmon, is Inspector Lindsay Boxer, and she is flanked by her friends Jill the district attorney, Claire the medical examiner, and Cindy the crime reporter. Together they solve cases the way Carrie Bradshaw and her gal pals went on dates. But without the fashion. Manolo, where are you when we need you?

The 9th episode for the first season introduces us to the first gay plot in this television series set in the gay mecca of San Francisco. It revolves around the murder of famed drag queen, Dakota Manning. Snort. She is found headfirst in a toilet in her backstage dressing room by the gay southern club owner, who recollects he had heard voices arguing "something fierce."

Upcoming Women's Murder Club episode is a drag

I haven’t seen a single episode of ABC’s Women’s Murder Club, but this week’s episode sounds promising. According to Spoilerfix.com (warning: recap contains spoilers), the upcoming episode, airing December 7th, will have enough gayness to last you through the weekend.

In the episode, "To Drag and to Hold," the Club investigates the murder of a drag queen at a San Francisco dinner-theater club. Though the deceased man’s partner points the finger at a rowdy group of drunken men who harassed the drag performers on the night the murder took place, further investigation reveals there’s more to this story than a simple gay-bashing.

Affairs, illegitimate children, and drag kings all figure into the case’s resolution. Qué scandalous!
