jbirks106 Evil lurks within the sordid underbelly of an outwardly bucolic burg in the West. But this isn't Twin Peaks, this is Colorado Springs. And this isn't FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper, this is Lt. Joe Kenda. And the stories are real.Kenda claims to have solved over 400 homicides over the course of his career, which means the show could go on almost indefinitely. We see him in two guises: one is the young homicide investigator, played by Carl Marino, the other is Kenda himself, who appears frequently with commentary on the case as it proceeds. The younger Kenda does resemble Kyle MacLaughlin's Dale Cooper, with a healthy dose of Jack Webb's Joe Friday. We occasionally see Kenda in repose, enjoying a rare moment relaxing with his wife, when the inevitable call comes. Another homicide. And Kenda is off.It's the present-day Kenda, however, who makes the show worth watching. World-weary, laconic, jaded but not quite cynical, Kenda renders lacerating insights into human nature and the criminal mind. More often than not, alas, these are mindless, unnecessary murders, and we can only nod in agreement as Kenda bemoans the pointlessness of all the lives lost.If you kill, Kenda will not only find you, he will mock you, and we will love every minute of it.
org1andrew Look, this show USB great for the first season. He dazzled you with his orality and his neat perfect memory. He's smart, unlike most detectives you see on other shows, or even in movies. But by the time you get through season 2, the trick gets old and the cases are pretty stale. After all, most of his cases involve detective manipulation and interrogation of murderers who don't ask for lawyers, and so forensics isn't used much. If you want interesting cases, watch Forensic Files. These are run of the mill. Eventually through it becomes a bit disgusting to watch: Joe Kenda has a hard-on for putting kiddies in jail for long sentences, often in solitary confinement ('for their own safety'-well fuck, if you can't afford a prison that takes care of its youth, they shouldn't be sent to prison). The state attorney or whoever was hard on youth crime at the time, but Kenda shows no critical thinking abilities (intelligence for a detective can only go so far) and no remorse. It's disgusting, he's disgusting, I'm done with this show.
ccjs-35949 Stories are good but Kendra has to be the most boring person on this planet. Monotone, monotone, monotone, Puts you to sleep.. Get rid of him and get somebody who is at least alive.
boazsd Joe Kenda is not only real, he is REAL..got the mug and t-shirt for Xmas from my family.. We love the storytelling aspect of the show ... his macabre sense of humor, fellow officers and editing of the series make it an a-1 production. My husband, who is puzzled by my obsession with ID Discovery channel (24-7) watches only this show and is disappointed when it is not on or recorded. With this many cases solved by Kenda, we should be able to look forward to many more seasons of this series.. again, not good that people were murdered, but the fact that they were caught and put behind bars/got their just deserts is gratifying.Which brings me to the next question... have there been/will there be episodes that touch on the unsolved cases? it takes a village! would love to help kenda!
