That’s why I was wary of Netflix’s reboot of true-crime show Unsolved Mysteries, which I loved back in the day. Sometimes fond TV memories are best left in the past, you know? I for one did NOT need a Melrose Place remake with Ashlee Simpson, not that anyone asked me.
We’d all love to surprise Mom with the car of her dreams, right? In this time of coronavirus woes, though, we don’t really see too many folks — even those flush with cash — dropping big coin to earn brownie points with their parents.

And then there’s his mysterious best friend and employer, who won’t talk to the police. All the ingredients for a tantalizing cold case.

But I should expect more off-the-wall episodes — executive producer Terry Dunn Meurer told Variety a ghost story is among the upcoming shows.
In spite of all this, she keeps calm and carries on – a quality admired by the Queen who could not have given her granddaughter a greater seal of approval than loaning her a dress and a treasured tiara.
