DVD Reviews of Crime Story - Season Two
DVD Review: A Trill-packed Show With A Frustrating Ending
Summary: 4 Stars
Without a doubt,the ending to Season One was explosive,literally!But by the time you get to the end of this exciting follow-up season...you may end up pulling all of your hair out.
Let me explain that:
The reason for Crime Story's short run on TV was not poor ratings,but it was the result of the "moral crusaders" who thought that the show was too violent for televison.As a result,the second season ends in a cliffhanger that was meant to be resolved in a third season that never came.Nevertheless, the Second Season is just as exciting as the first,despite a few flaws.
If you have already seen the first season,you know that Lt. Mike Torrello (Dennis Farina) and his MCU squad engaged Ray Luca and Paulie Taglia (Anthony Dennison and John Stanucci) in a gun battle on the streets of 60's era Las Vegas.Ray and Paulie escaped into the desert where they took refuge in an abandoned house....not realizing it was on U.S. Government Property and on the test site for a nuculear weapon.And so...Ray and Paulie are still on the property when the test bomb is detonated and leaving the viewer to believe that they were killed.
Season Two opens with a bang when Torrello and the MCU assist a crusading Robert Kennedy-like senator (played by a young Kevin Spacey in a one-time guest role) who has an affair with a Marylin Monroe-inspired actress while battling the mob in public hearings.After that,for at least the next few episodes,Torrello and company battle the local low-life scum such as pimps and drug pushers,and the mobsters trying to fill Ray Luca's shoes.
But then it gets interesting....Suddenly,Ray Luca and Paulie Taglia show up...with the protection of the U.S. Army!It turns out that Luca has been hiding in Mexico and using his underworld contacts to help the military smuggle weapons to freedom fighters in South America.In exchange,the Army turns a blind eye to Luca's cocaine smuggling.When the government issues a restraining order against Torrello,the MCU,and Attorney David Abrhams (Stephen Lang reprising his Season One role),Abrhams snaps and quits the Justice Department,leaving Torrello and the others to fight Luca alone.
One of the show's shortcomings is it's shotty storytelling.Although there are some brilliant episodes in the mix,there are mostly stand alone stories.It isn't until almost the last five or six episodes that they become one continuous storyline.One positive point to the series is that much of the Season One cast returns for this season.Despite it's flaws,it is a nice follow-up to a brilliant series.Watching it will make you think that the people who cancelled the show were morons.
