Crime TV Review Highlights Shaky Mystery in My Friend Tony
NBC's My Friend Tony opens weakly as a crime series focused on charm over detection. Enzo Cerusico's lead and Whitmore as the criminologist fail to sustain tension amid romance, gunplay, and a twist ending. The Male of the Species drama with Anna Calder-Marshall, Michael Caine, and Paul Scofield offers richer, more civilized 90 minutes. A separate aviation disaster report notes Ariana Afghan Airlines flight 15 survivors, with Karen Mix among the dead.
