    Very sad about Women’s murder club, a very good show. It had it’s weak moments, but is more deserving than Eli Stone certainly. The cliffhanger was stupid, they knew the show was likely doomed. At least they closed out the main story.

    Ron, We definitely disagree on Eli Stone, but couldn’t agree more on how everything seemed to wrap up nicely on Women’s Murder Club and then they throw in a problem with her father and fade to black.
