So Help Me Todd
Cast & Crew
Matt Roush says...
This comedic caper has raised its game in its second season, and this laugh-out-loud episode, directed by Robin Givens, is a terrific example. While Todd (Skylar Astin), “Portland’s best detective-to-be,” lies in the hospital following an emergency appendectomy, he believes he witnesses a murder plot. But no one will listen: not his snarky doctor sister (Madeline Wise) nor his lawyer mom Margaret (Marcia Gay Harden), who’s preoccupied trying to win the business of two cranky rich sisters. Lucky, then, that a legendary local private eye (Dean Winters, aka Allstate’s “Mayhem”) becomes his roommate. Soon, everyone’s involved in the hunt for a murderous femme fatale.
