I absolutely loved this series,and this,I suppose,comes from the fact that I have a passion for seeing the bad people of this world get what they deserve.Deep down,I think everyone would love to have someone like Robert McCall around to even up the odds in a bad situation.McCall was brilliantly played by Edward Woodward,whom I would love to see more of these days.Although the series had a high level of violence,it was thoroughly entertaining,and it was a ten o'clock series if I recall correctly,properly placed beyond the family hour.This was indeed one of the better shows on network television in the mid to late eighties.Great stuff.
