Season 1

Overall: ⭐️⭐️⭐️

NBC/USA Network

Impression: it had been so long since watching this show it was like viewing it for the first time. It’s fun, Rabb is a great leading character, but poor graphic even for its time.

Collection: no

Concept: ⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2

Story: ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Storytelling: ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Characters: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Casting: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Visually: ⭐️⭐️ish

Score: ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Entertainment: ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Best: Episode: Black Ops. Absolutely captivating episode. And Lt. Col. Harmon Rabb, brilliant character.

Worst: Season finale. Boring and predictable. Tried way too hard and fell flat on their faces.

Note: am reviewing this series as a request from a follower. It is an entertaining show, and am happy to be able to view it all over again.

The Rockford Files 5.12

This one starts strong, but gets quite bland after a while.

A late-night call from a terrified woman, leads Jim to the body of his fashion-model friend. A gripping start, with a lot of running around before the body is found and an intriguing set-up where our hero is the only one who realises that it wasn’t a suicide.

Sadly, what follows is a generic murder-in-the-fashion-world story that you could see on any private eye show.

Both Erin Gray and Rene Auberjonois are on form, and James Garner is a blast when Jim goes undercover as ‘Jimmy Joe Meeker’, but the script fails to excite at every turn.

5/10
