I really wish the first 3 seasons of this were available today as the rest are an understated, measured joy, especially season 4.
Really, it is all down to Alfred Burke (well, and Pauline Delaney in season 4) who puts in an understated, measured performance that is a joy to watch. Frankly, at the moment, I can't think of a better low rent police/crime TV star. OK, there are dud episodes. OK, the foils after Pauline Delaney are never as good But Burke just keeps on giving.
I think a lot of credit must go as well to the creators/writers who set a just so mood. Even down to perfectly matched theme music.
Thoroughly deserves t better known than it is.
