I give this winning series 10 stars for the theme music, the writing, and Jonathan Banks!
I never knew about this show until Binge TV started airing old reruns of it; as I learned more about the show by watching it and reading about it, I gained appreciation for the concept which I can tell must have been groundbreaking for the time; I was 10 when the show was originally on, so I was not the demographic back then.
It's hard not to like theme music by Mike Post, and Stephen J. 'Pop Collar' Cannell created some wonderful TV worlds in his career, even though he didn't write every episode of this series; the combination is another winner with Wiseguy.
Jonathan Banks is just one of many actors who are great to see from back in the day, before he was Mike on Breaking Bad; but Banks' delivery is always so good, he's worth watching in every episode, even when the drama takes a break in the lighter storylines of which there are a few.
It's also an enjoyable trip back to the late 1980s with the fashions, vehicles, and culture of the time.
I'd recommend this series for anyone who enjoys Stephen J. Cannell creations, Mike Post theme music, the 1980s, and tough guy Jonathan Banks who knows how to deliver his lines!
