DVD Reviews of Jonathan Creek: Season Three
DVD Review: Supernatural stew
Summary: 4 Stars
There's a very paranormal slant to the third season of "Jonathan Creek," as if the writers had watched a little too much "X-Files" -- you've got ghosts, ghouls, precognition, aliens and a pact with Satan. But fortunately the main concept (Jonathan debunks impossible crimes/tricks) is very much still in place, and Alan Davies and Caroline Quentin are still awesome.
A dinner party goes completely south in "The Curious Tale of Mr Spearfish" when a man claims to have signed a pact with the devil, which he credits for his newfound fame and luck. But even after a man trying to shoot him drops dead, Maddie and Jonathan suspect there's a more mundane explanation for what's happening.
And in "The Eyes of Tiresias," an old lady is having dreams of future murders that have a nasty habit of coming true. In "The Omega Man," Maddy is contacted by an extraterrestrial expert to take a look at an alien skeleton... only to have the US army (wha?) charge in and take it. The problem is, as soon as they unload it again, it's vanished into thin air. So guess who they drag in to help.
"Ghosts Forge" becomes a problem when an ex-coworker of Maddy's wants them to investigate a very old murder at a creaky old manor house. Then there's a "Miracle in Crooked Lane," when an ex-glamour model is almost killed in an explosion... and is seen several hours later on her way to church. Is it a true miracle, or does Jonathan have a more earthly answer?
And it all ends on a gruesome note with "The Three Gamblers," in which the police find a drug dealer who was bludgeoned and shot to death has somehow crawled up a flight of stairs... AFTER he died. His killer is literally going insane with fear, and a drug cartel is causing trouble.
Obviously "Jonathan Creek Season 3" has a more supernatural/paranormal slant to it, and fortunately it doesn't lose its solid grip on reality. The only problem is that sometimes things get a little far-fetched -- the first episode has oh-so-convenient timing on a LOT of stuff,merely to make shady stuff look downright satanic.
But despite the supernatural/paranormal focus, the scriptwriters DO manage to stick to the core of the series -- everything must be unraveled and explained by Jonathan.
Sadly this was the last season with Caroline Quentin, because Maddy and Jonathan had finally settled into a less prickly, more comfortable little zone with each other (she even gives him a book he desperately wants). They even test the romantic waters once or twice. And Alan Davies' Jonathan seems to be a bit more comfortable with himself and his more public life (although the dweeby fanclub seems to bug him).
"Jonathan Creek Season Three" is a much darker, weirder story than the one that came before it, but fortunately it hasn't really strayed from its core idea. Too bad there's no more Maddy after this.
