Psych

On Friday we watched an episode of Psych in class. The name of the episode was Pilot.
The crime was that there was a kidnapping but it turned out to be fake. Then there was murder.
The detectives were Sean and Gus.
The villain was Mr. McCallen.
The victims were Kamden McCallen and his friend Malcom Orso.
The suspects were Mr. McCallen and Katerina McCallen.
The sense of danger, suspense or tension was when Sean explained the crime in front of everybody.
The red herring was the bag with the ransom money when it turned out to be a bag of clothes for a thrift shop and the gun in Malcom's hand.
The witness was Kamden McCallen's dog.
The evidence was Kamden and Malcom's bodies, the gun, the coffee mug, the blood on the corner of the table, the dog bite medication and the cut on Mr. McCallen's wrist.
The clue was the blood on the dog's whisker.
The investigation was the police investigation with Gus and Sean.
The surprise ending was when the dad was the killer of his own son and Malcom.

Monk Conclusion

Today in class we watched a TV series called Monk. The episode we saw was the voodoo mystery. In every mystery there is a crime and the crime in Monk is when Angeline dills her uncle. She kills her uncle for the money because her uncle is very wealthy. The detective who investigates the crime is Monk. The bad guy in the episode is Angeline and her alibi was that she was upstairs when the crime happened. The victim is the uncle of Angeline. One of the suspects is Reverend Jorgenson, the shop keeper of the store that sells the voodoo dolls. The part where there was a sense of danger was when Monk was chasing the bad guy. The red herring was the other victims of the voodoo dolls. There were no witnesses of the crime. The evidence was the horse shoe and pills. One clue is the newspaper picture that Angeline was in. Monk was there when the police was investigating the crime, so he was at the police investigation. The surprise was when Angeline was the murderer.
