Female abductors

[searchanddestroy-1 · 7 December 2015]

I appreciated much this episode where the evil characters are two women who abduct a wealthy young man during his tennis match. But Bronk remains not far from here. A powerful story with a solid characterization too. An unusual tale with the usual scheme although, thanks for those female bad and sadistic characters who contact police through the short waves police radio and keep their victim in an abandoned jail. Maybe nothing exceptional for most of the audiences, but I crave for this kind of stories. And this story will reserve you some good surprises, I would say twists...

Don't miss this one, maybe one of the best of the whole show.

Shades of Patty Hearst?

[FloridaFred · 7/10 · 26 August 2021]

SPOILER ALERT:

This story may be loosely based upon the Patty Hearst incident that occurred in 1974. It's a bit over the top, with the screaming female terrorists.

The bomb squad guys appear totally unprepared and not very competent. They wear a mask that makes them look like "Gumby", and they attempt to dismantle bombs with their bare hands.

Of course, Bronk has a plan to foil the terrorists. Will it work? Watch and find out!
