Hubris. The victim is not likeable or compelling but is not bad enough for her death to be okay. The killer is an idiot.

what about the badlands?
Not the worse, but a little weak..the main reason is the killer..i can't believe drugs can make you kill 3 people without a really strong motive (maybe the one was Della saying she'd take care of derek leaving dre sort of alone with his addiction..)..and i didn't like the final, showing the waitress at home with her abusive boyfriend.. -

I found Colors really disappointing. I was excited to see it because I'm fascinated by the Negro leagues period of baseball. I also heard that it had a black baseball player fall in love with a white woman and I love romances where the woman is white and the man isn't.
However, it didn't live up to expectation. The story was boring, the reveal of the killer and his motivation didn't make sense, and the fact that the girlfriend was really black seemed like both a copout and weird because she didn't look black at all. Or was it supposed to be a one drop rule kind of thing? Either way, I didn't like the episode.
Has anybody read the Mickey Rawlings baseball mysteries? The last book in the series, Hanging Curve, is also about a Negro Leagues star who is murdered. It's not perfect but I think it's better than Colors.
