"Reality Kills" is not a fantastic episode, but it is an entertaining one. It could not be more obvious who the stars of The Boroughs are modeled after, but those characters do have some well written scenes (mostly the scenes where their true identities are revealed) and help make the episode watchable. Horatio certainly has a memorable opening scene in this episode. The usually low key deadly serious lieutennant makes a big enterance here. The investigation has its goofy moments, but it makes its way to a plausible conclusion that puts a fitting end to the story. An entertaining episode.
