    Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
    Robert-90 All I remember about this show was I loved the atmosphere of it. I loved the cars, the style, the lighting, and most of all the music. It was so cool I tuned in every week to feel it. It was my favourite show at the time, but back in those days there was no internet to get information, and it just disappeared. I was surprised when I found out it was cancelled, it happens quite a lot - the people with the money never seem to care about the artistic merits of what they're paying for - people who visit a gallery or museum and stroll through without looking, just to tick the box.I've been trying to track down one piece of music in particular, not sure if it was Joe Jackson or one of the other notable musicians who worked on the series - it's something like a 2/4 rhythm with a cowbell hitting rat tat-ta rat tat-ta with brass counter rhythm on top with great sax hook line; that one piece resonated perfectly and turned a good show into excellent show. It was a throw back to the golden era where some really amazing music was created for TV shows.
    spiritof67 There haven't been many attempts at making a film noir TV show in recent history, and I mean in the last 30 years. The Mike Hammer series with Stacy Keach was an attempt but went thin on the noir aspects. This series didn't. Moody, jazz-themed with the right style and tempo, it was a genuine shot at TV noir...which obviously wasn't what the network was willing to sell, and they didn't. If you can find a way, see it. There will likely as not never be another one like it, since no one under 50 will be willing to say they have seen a film noir, much less one on TV.
