Work Scotch

“They stole my work Scotch”: no, not Pete Hegseth speaking. It’s receptionist Sheila Portnadi (Pat Vern Harris), in “Mort Crim,” an episode from the second and final season of the short-lived series Detroiters (2018).

Detroiters, streaming on Netflix, is by turns funny and smart and funny and stupid. For anyone who knows Detroit (I don’t), the inside jokes must be plentiful. Did you know that many of the commercials produced by Cramblin Duvet have their origins in real-life local television?
