My mom and I could watch something that wasn\u2019t <em>Murder She Wrote<\/em> for the Third Time and it had enough angst to soothe my tortured teenage soul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br> Years later, I caught a similar affected rhythm in <em>Life<\/em>, starring Damien Lewis, a couple other great people, and a kickass ending that turned the show from a deep think mystery into an incredible character study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br> It isn\u2019t the rapid-fire back and forth that makes you sit up and listen to the characters in either show.

Either the long winding sentences have a sudden short interjection, or the short staccato style sentences give way suddenly to a long, winding, run-on sentence of effervescent vowels and sibilant consonants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br> Consider, also, a helpless passenger in a getaway vehicle on a hilly road.
