Banacek (1972–1974)
2/10
Misogyny for the masses
6 January 2021
I enjoy rediscovering many of the old detective series now being offered on television as I originally watched them in my childhood.

I enjoy a good mystery but I prefer almost any show over Banacek.

He comes across as arrogant, self-righteous and extremely misogynistic, I keep in mind the time frame in which the show was produced but other shows from the same era are much better in the way the main character treats women.

Banacek treats women much the same way he treats cars or furniture, he considers them all things for him to enjoy then discard when he tires of them.

In one episode when speaking with a female car designer / engineer he implies that she is too pretty to be that smart

I would much rather spend time with McCloud, Columbo and McMillan & Wife, The shows were just as good without treating the women like props.
