I'm usually baffled by the choices made when movie titles are changed before being broadcast on LMN, but the change here from _Murder and Mayhem at Mardi Gras_ to _The Secrets of the Matriarch_ actually makes more sense, especially since the original title made it sound more like a slasher film. The matriarch, Claire, certainly does have secrets so it was a wise choice to make the change. The three month delay in airing the film is perplexing as it would have landed better during Mardi Gras season. But it is what it is, less a thriller than a character drama where we know the secrets before the main character does, allowing us to get involved and wonder just how long it's going to take before Danielle figures it all out. I was concerned that it was just going to be flat out terrible because of the delay, but it ended up being an entertaining diversion, a little campy (unintentionally but perhaps it could have used more), very soapy -- this really could be developed into a primetime drama with the elites of New Orleans battling it out for power -- but all grounded by an excellent performance by Skye Coyne. It's a different type of 'thriller' for LMN, if that is the proper word, but it is a fun watch. Full Review at HOTCHKA
