Okay episode.

Warning: Spoilers
What I learned from The Countess: Rockford deals with rich clients from the greater L A area! But why? Beverly Hills can afford 200 dollars a day plus expenses! Rich people have problems too and Jim has to fix many problems and put them under the rug. Stereotypes of rich people being demanding and getting their way mixed with the fear of people not wanting to pay a high detective bill gives The Countess and the series a real life feel. The scum bag extortionist gives a feeling of how good evil players are at their game, and is why Jim is such a good P I. Jimmy gets hit with new lows, frames, and cops throwing at the P I in a blitz, which Jimmy's quick street smarts like a great quarterback creates an awesome counter play. The usual quick wit, and bad luck makes Jimmy likable and balances out Jim's nasty street side . The Countess is well written, acted and directed. The on going themes in the The Countess makes for a solid mystery episode. 7 out of 10 stars.
