My June 2023 books read. I continued my efforts to finish out some series such as #AaronElkins #GideonOliver forensic anthology series. I have most of #ElizabethPeters #AmeliaPeabody detective series, so started it from book one. I’m also continuing my efforts to read Larry McMurtry’s entire works. I enjoyed Star y Abrams new detective series situated in the Supreme Court as well.

👮‍♀️ Cagney & Lacey – Die Kultserie, die Maßstäbe setzte! 🔥

In den 80ern gab es viele ikonische TV-Serien, doch "Cagney & Lacey" war etwas Besonderes. Zwei starke Frauen als Ermittlerinnen, die in einer von Männern dominierten Welt ihren Platz behaupteten – das war revolutionär! 🚔💥

Sie thematisierte Freundschaft, Karriere, Work-Life-Balance und soziale Gerechtigkeit mit einer Tiefe, die für damalige Verhältnisse außergewöhnlich war. Kein Wunder, dass sie bis heute als wegweisend gilt! 📺✨

The Residence

[Viewers be warned: The following content contains spoilers that may reveal key plot points, character developments or endings, potentially diminishing your viewing experience.]

Much have been narrated and extrapolated about the intricate plots interwoven into murder mysteries in recent years. From the classic Agatha Christie's "Hercule Poirot" and "Miss Marple" series and Arthur Conan Doyle's "Sherlock Holmes' Mysteries" series to modern day's "Murder, She Wrote" and "Knives Out" series, we're definitely spoilt for choice. This doesn't include the investigative TV series that fall "somewhere in between" such as "CSI", "Criminal Minds", "The Mentalist", etc and the many true crime podcasts on air like "Killer Psyche" and "Sword and Scale".

In fact, the fascination to these murder mysteries and true crime stories expose the darker aspects of human curiosity, specifically our interests in acts of barbaric cruelty. Even so, we're still drawn to them, just like Icarus is drawn toward the sun's fatal embrace. Due to frequent exposure to clever plot twists, we find ourselves rarely satisfied by further murder mysteries or 'whodunnits'. Or so, we'd think... until this Netflix's limited TV series, "The Residence".

Personally, I'd like to think that "The Residence" is another brilliant creation by Paul William Davies, who also produced the politically themed "Scandal" and "For The People". Instead of a purely political TV series, Paul had successfully blended political themes with murder mystery intrigue into the limited series. This limited TV series also achieved a light and refreshing mix of subplot nuances, all the while retaining its content integrity while diverging from darker visual and print themes of its counterparts. This is also the first time I found myself amused by the characters' quirks and eccentricities.

Initially, the first two episodes were dedicated to establishing the groundwork, within the White House' setting. The White House covers approximately 18 acres [7.3 hectares] of land in Washington, D.C. The entire White House complex, including the residence, West Wing, East Wing, Eisenhower Executive Office Building, and Blair House, sits within approximately 52 acres [21 hectares] of land in President's Park. This murder mystery indirectly presents a vast narrative opportunity which encompasses a large cast of White House staffs and extensive plotlines.

The "knifing", as the poster indicated, happened inside the sprawling White House, which consisted of 132 rooms across four floors. The incident specifically took place within the Residence section of the White House itself. The seemingly fragile normalcy and silence was suddenly ripped apart by a shrill scream of an old lady from the third floor. Sadly, the scream went unheard, as most people were at a state dinner for Australian guests on another level or floor.

The incident? The Chief Usher of the White House, A.B. Wynter [starred by Giancarlo Esposito] was murdered in cold blood, with his body lying listlessly on the floor of the Game Room on the third floor and with both his wrists slit. This had resulted in a cascading sequence of events involving U.S. President's Social Secretary, Assistant Usher, U.S. President's brother, White House Executive Pastry Chef, U.S. President's Chief Adviser, etc. Then entered Cordelia Cupp [starred by Uzo Aduba] the Metropolitan Police Department detective - a woman defined by her sharp wit, no-nonsense demeanor, and a rapid-fire delivery left the witnesses mentioned above scrambling to keep up.

To avoid being implicated, many witnesses provided false testimonies when being interrogated by Detective Cordelia Cupp. Maintaining a patiently detached demeanor, Detective Cordelia surveyed the situation, like a birdwatcher scrutinizing a rare bird sighting. Director Paul, "interestingly" [as Detective Cordelia would frequently say] used Edwin Park [FBI Special Agent and Detective Cordelia's human "parrot"], Tripp Morgan [U.S. President's brother], and Elliot Morgan [U.S. President's "husband"] to sprinkle some light humor to this TV series. Indeed, this series' refreshing lightness stands in stark contrast to the often heavy and dark themes commonly found in other conventional murder mystery narratives.

Unlike those famous detectives with limited jurisdictions, Detective Cordelia's investigation extends to the entire White House staffs with a pool of 157 potential suspects. The sheer number of suspects with plausible motives of murdering Chief Usher A.B. Wynter had forced Detective Cordelia to refrain herself from dismissing anyone too quickly. Just as Sherlock Holmes used "smoking breaks" for mental clarity, Detective Cordelia employed "birding breaks" to de-stress, thus allowing her subconscious to process and find solutions. Despite her suspicions, she was forced to withdraw to an island for bird watching when the court classified the victim's death as a suicide instead of a murder.

"The Residence" is indeed the first of its genre to depart from the definitive conclusion of a detective in regards to the murderer because Detective Cordelia couldn't even solve the murder case before the court hastily classified the A.B. Wynter's death as a suicide. Notably, this series is also revolutionary as its episode titles and character names are deliberately linked to actual murder mystery movies. Finally, don't be surprised that towards the end of this series, there were a barrage of plot twists that can shatter your preconceived notion of how this murder can be resolved. My verdict: this series is excellent and highly recommended. Period.

$100M bribe for China

I follow with interest the process over the former head of the FTX crypto exchange Sam Bankman-Fried. It’s like watching an interesting detective series.

Sam’s former girlfriend Caroline Ellison, CEO of Alameda Research, which is the company receiving billions from FTX, was heard in court.

Caroline claims Sam paid a $100M bribe to the Chinese government for releasing frozen assets.

And I’m faced with a moral rather than legal dilemma.

Imagine, you have a billion dollars frozen in China. The funds belong to the customers. And then there’s the opportunity to release them by paying a huge bribe. Legally, it is certainly a crime. To give or take bribes are immoral and punishable.

I don’t know what I’d do if I was Sam.

The easiest thing to say is, "I always follow the law". It really is. But what to do in this particular situation? On the one hand there is the violation of the law, and the related problems, on the other hand there is the money of the clients who have trusted you. What will you choose?

I can’t answer that.

However, in any case, a bribe given for the best of moral reasons is still a bribe in this particular episode, it is left to Sam to feel sympathy for his decision.

I hope none of us have that dilemma.

নতুন করে ফিরছে ভারতের অন্যতম জনপ্রিয় টেলিভিশন সিরিজ ‘সিআইডি’। ১৯৯৮ সালে প্রথম প্রচার শুরু হওয়া এই গোয়েন্দাভিত্তিক শোটি টানা ২০ বছর ধরে দর্শকদের মন জয় করেছে। সিরিজটি বিশেষভাবে জনপ্রিয়তা পেয়েছিল এসিপি প্রদ্যুমান, ইন্সপেক্টর অভিজিৎ, দয়া, এবং ডা. শোলাঙ্কির রহস্য উদঘাটনের দক্ষতার জন্য। প্রতিটি পর্বে নতুন একটি কেস নিয়ে আসে সিআইডির দল, যেখানে খুন, অপহরণ, এবং অন্যান্য জটিল অপরাধের রহস্য উন্মোচন করে তারা। শেষবার ২০১৮ সালে সম্প্রচারিত হলেও এখনো ইউটিউবের পুরোনো পর্বগুলো দর্শকরা উপভোগ করে চলেছেন।

অবশেষে ছয় বছর পর, সিআইডি আবার নতুনভাবে ফিরছে দর্শকদের সামনে। আগের মতোই, শিবাজি সাতাম (এসিপি প্রদ্যুমান), আদিত্য শ্রীবাস্তব (সিনিয়র ইন্সপেক্টর অভিজিৎ), এবং দয়ানন্দ শেঠি (সিনিয়র ইন্সপেক্টর দয়া) মূল চরিত্রে থাকছেন। তবে, প্রিয় চরিত্র ফেডরিক্স হিসেবে দীনেশ ফাডনিশ আর ফিরে আসছেন না। গত বছর, ৫ ডিসেম্বর, তার অকাল প্রয়াণের কারণে এই সিরিজে তার অনুপস্থিতি অনুভূত হবে।

নতুন সিজনে পুরোনো পরিচিত মুখগুলোর পাশাপাশি নতুন কিছু চরিত্র যোগ করা হয়েছে, যারা সিআইডি টিমের সাথে কাজ করবে। গল্পের ধাঁচও কিছুটা পরিবর্তন করা হয়েছে, যাতে বর্তমান সময়ের অপরাধের ধরন এবং প্রযুক্তিগত পরিবর্তনগুলোর সাথে সামঞ্জস্যপূর্ণ হয়ে ওঠে। আধুনিকীকরণের ছোঁয়ায় এই সিরিজে আরও উত্তেজনা ও রহস্যময়তার প্রত্যাশা করছে দর্শকরা।

সিআইডি একটি সময়কাল অতিক্রম করেছে যেখানে এটি শুধু একটি টেলিভিশন শো নয়, বরং একটি সংবেদনশীল স্মৃতি হয়ে দাঁড়িয়েছে। দর্শকদের আশা, নতুন সিজন আগের মতোই তাদের প্রিয় গোয়েন্দা সিরিজের সেই পুরোনো স্বাদ ও ��ত্তেজনা ফিরিয়ে আনবে। #CIDReturns #ACPPradyumanIsBack

Dorothy Leigh Sayers ( 13 June 1893 – 17 December 1957) was an English crime writer and poet. She was also a student of classical and modern languages. Via Wikipedia

"Dorothy L. Sayers is now famous for her Lord Peter Wimsey and Harriet Vane detective series, but she was equally well known during her life for an essay asking “Are Women Human?”

Women’s rights were expanding rapidly during Sayers’s lifetime; she and her friends were some of the first women to receive degrees from Oxford.

Yet, as historian Mo Moulton reveals, it was clear from the many professional and personal obstacles they faced that society was not ready to concede that women were indeed fully human.

Dubbing themselves the Mutual Admiration Society, Sayers and her classmates remained lifelong friends and collaborators as they fought for a truly democratic culture that acknowledged their equal humanity. A celebration of feminism and female friendship, The Mutual Admiration Society offers crucial insight into Dorothy L. Sayers and her world."

Broadchurch Staffel 3: Ein tiefgründiger Abschluss einer meisterhaften Serie

Die dritte und finale Staffel von "Broadchurch" ist ein Paradebeispiel für großartiges Fernsehen.

Warum Staffel 3 so besonders ist

"Broadchurch" bleibt seinem Stil treu, indem es einen Kriminalfall mit intensiven Charakterstudien und einem scharfen Blick auf gesellschaftliche Themen kombiniert. Diese Staffel nimmt sich eines sensiblen Themas an, das mit großer Sorgfalt und Feingefühl behandelt wird. Statt sich auf plakative Darstellungen zu verlassen, legt die Serie den Fokus auf die emotionalen und sozialen Folgen des Verbrechens. Dabei schafft sie es, den Zuschauer*innen sowohl Spannung als auch tiefgründige Momente zu bieten.

Die Kulisse des kleinen Küstendorfs Broadchurch bleibt weiterhin ein wichtiger Bestandteil der Atmosphäre. Die atemberaubenden Landschaften bieten einen faszinierenden Kontrast zur Dunkelheit der Geschichte und tragen dazu bei, die emotionale Intensität der Serie zu verstärken.

Ein würdiger Abschluss

Ohne zu spoilern, lässt sich sagen, dass Staffel 3 die Erzählung der Serie auf meisterhafte Weise abschließt. Die Hauptfiguren, allen voran Ellie Miller (Olivia Colman) und Alec Hardy (David Tennant), erleben hier Momente, die sowohl ihre Stärken als auch ihre Verletzlichkeiten offenbaren. Ihre Chemie und ihre Fähigkeit, mit schwierigen Themen umzugehen, machen sie zu einem der besten Ermittler-Duos im Fernsehen.

Ein Muss für Krimi-Fans

Wer auf spannende Krimis steht, die nicht nur den Verstand, sondern auch das Herz ansprechen, sollte sich "Broadchurch" nicht entgehen lassen. Die dritte Staffel bietet alles, was Fans der Serie lieben: brillante schauspielerische Leistungen, eine klug konstruierte Handlung und eine bewegende Auseinandersetzung mit wichtigen Themen.
