Reviews FOR CBS' Elementary ep. 408 "A Burden of Blood" performance
“The actress who played the victim did some really haunting screaming. It would have been difficult to listen to the recording of her murder over and over again regardless, but with those screams involved...man was that rough.”
“This is a remarkably visceral murder for Elementary...Line of the week goes to, “Oh my God, No. Stop it. No! No!”, which had to hold the crucial clue without sounding, for the first dozen playbacks, that she was using her brother’s nickname. The most satisfying part of the big reveal was that the episode had been perfectly aware of the disquiet the clip causes; the thing that snaps Nolan is listening to his sister’s final panic over and over.”
“I will say this for the A-plot: it was more than a little creepy listening to Ella’s murder over and over again.”
