RATINGS KEY
0/5 – Terrible. Start a campaign to have it cancelled.
1/5 – Bad. Better than golf, but that’s about it.
2/5 – Okay. Watch it if you’re too lazy to change channels.
3/5 – Average. Watch it if you catch it, but don’t rearrange your schedule for it.
4/5 – Good. Do rearrange your schedule for it.
5/5 – Excellent. Work it into your weekly routine—and buy the DVDs, too.

1/5
A pair of crime-solving female gardeners is certainly a novel idea, but unfortunately it’s not as interesting as as it sounds—like most “themed” series, the charm lies merely in the concept, not in the execution. Remove the flora, and it’s just another chain of loosely-strung mysteries with too many characters and too little sense. Less boring than watching grass grow, but not as interesting as weeding your vegetable patch.
