Salvaged by Style

This entry shows how visual style and good acting can carry even the slenderest of stories. Cole (Maxwell) hires Gunn to find out who killed his boss's wife. Oddly, it seems that he did, so why hire Gunn. There's little or no suspense, while the one action scene comes across as pretty contrived. Nonetheless, note the many stylish touches, such as the deep focus shots of Kinett's (White) spiffy offices and the well-composed close-ups that keep viewer attention. Also there's Edie looking especially luscious, along with a very unself-conscious and charming little Angela (Nicholson). Such touches show why the series, even with the thinnest material, managed a classic reputation.
