Diagnosis Murder (TV Series) Till Death Do Us Part (1998) User Reviews

Guest starring Patrick Duffy and Anastasia Sagorsky

[safenoe · 8/10 · 19 October 2022]

Anastasia Sagorsky (and known as Staci Keanan) guest stars in Till Death Do Us Part, along with Patrick "Dallas" Duffy. Till Death Do Us Part is an incredibly fun episode, with the first 15 minutes leading the viewer into the story in a wow way that makes me want to tip my hat off to the cast and crew.

In real life Anastasia Sagorsky is a high profile lawyer who has worked in defence and prosecution, so well done for her in forging her career path post-acting.

I like Diagnosis Murder. It's kind of an antidote to the cozy and safe Diagnosis, Murder, which I like by the way. But still, Diagnosis Murder is more diverse.

Quirky one. Like a black comedy. Clever twist for the viewers. Perfect murder, not so perfect. Murderers morbidly funny.

This was a quirky different one. They show the entire murder plot and the murderers, Philip and Cindy. The thing is, the two murderers are kind of funny psychopaths. So it's almost like a black comedy.

They show what appears to be the murder going down and the person they framed, Denise, be arrested. But it turns out that it was just their imagination of how they thought their perfect plan happen. The viewers aren't let on to this, and may think it's real. This is part of the reason this episode has a clever twist to it. There are signs there is something off, as Mark, Amanda, and Jesse, sort of are acting weird in the imagined scene. I thought maybe the person they framed, Denise, was actually going to jail, and the second part of the episode would be of Mark somehow becoming convinced she was innocent and then trying to prove it. Yep, I fell for it a bit. Tho both Mark and Steve were acting out of character in the interrogation of her.

Loved the contrast of what really happened vs Philip and Cindy's imagination. Boy, talk about things going wrong. These two were so sure of themselves and they had such high opinions of themselves. They think everybody else is enamored of them, such as Amanda and Jesse. Lol. It was pretty funny comparing the reality to the imagination.

Everything that could go wrong in Philip and Cindy's "perfect plan," did. The resolve was probably the weakest part of the episode. It was almost too easy to nail these two after their plan went awry.

Anyway, really enjoyed this one. Cindy and Philip were morbidly funny and the imagined scene was funny on it's own, and then funny in the contrast to the reality. 8/10.
