I would like to add that the soundtracks, performed by Stewart Copeland (formerly of the Police) are consistently excellent. Unlike Jan Hammer's music for Miami Vice, Copeland music is particularly well-integrated with the moods and settings of the show. And unlike Tangerine Dream/Streethawk, you don't have to wade though an awful story line to enjoy the music. The premise of the show, that a retired CIA agent finds people in need of protection and help by advertising in the want ads, comes off surprisingly well, though it initially seems incredibly far-fetched. I have to agree that the little details in the show are what makes it all work. Craig Hansen MIPS Computer Systems ...decwrl!glacier!mips!hansen
