This was absolutely fanciful, impossible, and seriously humorous for Hallmark to attempt a new angle on the mystery genre with a dancing detective! And not only for Lacey Chabert to go from zero to 120 in learning to dance (the tango!) after NEVER having danced once in her entire life, but to end this episode with the hope that her dance instructor partner and she might team up in other foreign locales to detect & dance their way through more adventures...
As other reviewers have averred, the Malta shots on location are the real attraction here, and I was thrilled with those shots (hoping that the dialogue would not start up too soon.) But the silly premise hangs over the whole enterprise and dooms this "series" to a poisoned ending, in spite of the fun relationship developing between our two stars.
