So, besides seeing double-with the victim’s past impersonated by one set of young characters and the present embodied in another batch of coarsened look-alikes-Rush is also seeing parallels and antecedents in her own closet.
We have glimpsed them in fitful shadows for two seasons now (absent father, alcoholic mother, addicted sister, child abuse, foster care, twelve-step programs) to explain her solitude, underline her implacability, and establish her street cred as a Freudian (family secrets) and a cynic (everybody lies, no one can be trusted). But what the skeptical Rush really visualizes at the conclusion of each episode is one of the victim’s loving memories-the opposite of Rush’s own demons.Īnd boy, does she have demons. It would be swell if the souls of the sinned-against, having at last got justice and thus an exit visa out of purgatory, wanted to wave goodbye to the cop who cared so much about their unsolved case. This is because Rush-played to a frazzled perfection by Kathryn Morris, as if Edith Piaf were called upon to sing a song every Sunday night in one of Ross MacDonald’s psychoanalytic mystery novels-knows she is only imagining things. TVĪlthough philadelphia homicide detective Lilly Rush sees ghosts, she doesn’t talk to them.
