"Mystery Weekend" was the first Mystery Woman episode I've watched in its entirety, and it was a bit of a slog to get through it. Both my wife and I found it trite and predictable, and downright juvenile when compared to the BBC's "Waking the Dead" and "Wire in the Blood" productions. It was fun to see Beth Broderick again, for the first time since "The 5 Mrs. Buchanans." I wouldn't have recognized the once-foxy Ms. Van Valkenburgh if I hadn't seen her name in the credits. As sometimes happens with starlets, when their looks start to go they learn to act, and turn into really good character actors. It seems she has done that. Clarence Williams is as far from his Mod Squad look as possible this side of the grave, and his character is the low-budget heir to John Hillerman's Higgins or Sidney Poitier's character in Sneakers: the sidekick with a secret past and access to rich sources of data from undivulged sources.

One of several ongoing annoyances to me was the District Attorney/best buddy woman (sorry, didn't write down her unspellable name),who -- despite having presumably graduated from college and law school -- uses the sentence structure and enunciation of a 17-year-old airhead. Give your audience some credit, writers.

It's unlikely I will watch this series again.

i didn't like this movie.i found it moved at a glacial pace.i also didn't think the acting was all that great.i only liked 2 characters In the whole movie,which is sad,because there are a lot of characters.i liked the character of Philby,played by Clarence Williams III.i also liked Williams himself.i thought he was on of the 2 best actors in the movie.the other character i like was Cassie,played by Nina Siemaszko.I thought Siemaszko also was very good in her role.these 2 characters(Philby and Cassie) i found to be interesting. the rest of the characters were either boring or annoying. Kellie Martin plays the lead character,and to me,she was bland.to be honest,most of the movie was uninteresting,in my opinion.it just seems like nothing really happens.i was really just waiting for this movie to be over.this is not the worst movie i have seen("Dracula 3000" holds that distinction so far)but it was nothing special either."Mystery Woman:Mystery Weekend" gets 4/10 from me.

I watched this movie tonight, and I was hooked during the entire two hours! I didn't even get up during the commercials because I was afraid I would miss something crucial to the plot. I didn't expect any of the things that happened. I was so happy to see Beth Broderick in a new movie. She is a brilliant and totally versatile actress, and did an amazing job playing Clare Beckman. The whole "Mystery Woman" series is awesome! When you're watching this movie it really seems like you're there. I don't really know how to sum this movie up without giving anything away----so you have to see it. I was never a big fan of Kellie Martin's but after seeing her in this mini-series, I will definitely start to watch more of her movies when they air.
