Synopsis
The Mysteries of Laura (2014) is a crime dramedy you can watch online on iFILM. Laura Diamond closes homicide cases for the NYPD by day and referees her own household chaos by night, where two twin boys cause more trouble than half her suspects.
Debra Messing, of Will & Grace fame, plays Laura as a permanent juggling act. One minute she's reading a killer his rights, the next she's fielding a call from the principal's office. Her almost-ex husband Jake (Josh Lucas) keeps stalling on the divorce papers, then gets promoted to run her precinct, which blows up whatever line was left between work and home. The cases stay light and quick, each episode wrapping its own whodunit.
This is the US-Spanish remake of a Spanish hit, and Messing's comic timing is what carries it past the standard procedural. Good fit for anyone who wants a breezy detective show with no heavy aftertaste at the end of a long day. Stream The Mysteries of Laura online on iFILM.
