Inside Man on Netflix

starring Stanley Tucci and David Tennant. It's a four part mini-series. A fair amount of suspension of belief is required but it's enjoyable if you can do that.

Jefferson Grieff (Tucci), a former Law Professor of Criminology, is on death row for killing and beheading his wife. Grieff acts as a detective from the prison, provides solutions, and hears cases to deduce the culprits as people come with queries to cases that require answers.

I found it something like the movie "Fargo"; full of "really bad decisions" that began innocently enough if one could suspend belief in the powerful emotion of fear driving the characters' personal vanity and their reputations of "niceness" in their community to deepening worse decision-making. Tucci's case criteria of moral integrity? LOL! In the end, Tucci's fears about his past superior knowledge, his crime, and his long adaptability as to what most would believe would constitute Hell on Earth (as did those involved in the case presented) left me SMH...Be careful with this one - What would YOU do for (a really twisted four-hour) Klondike bar with an ensuing karmically redemptive sweet ending or a terminal tummy ache??? LOL, but SMH!
