The only thing I liked about this film was the photography. Story, acting, sound quality, and music were second rate. Which is a shame since I think something could have been done with the concept.

The fault, in my view, is that the writing results in a slow-paced story with stilted dialog. Up until mid-film there were numerous throw- away scenes and dialogs that did nothing to advance the plot or even develop characters convincingly. And even with these bits it's still a pretty short film.

I think these actors deserved better. One scene that stretched credibility was the new sheriff firing her gun into the air to break up a bar fight. This wouldn't be condoned anywhere nowadays.

Having now watched all 4 seasons on DVD, I can also wish there was more to see. The acting is superb throughout, and the situations are a mix of amusing and true crime.

I found Dangerous' wife to be a truly irritating character in a bad way, the kind of woman who gives marriage a bad name. Luckily by the end of the series she had become tolerable.

On the other hand, Mod is irritating in a good way. He's the kind of guy I couldn't stand in real life for 10 minutes, but on the screen he's the perfect foil.

Given Dangerous' successes, it's hard to understand Aspinall continuing to treat him n the same way, esp. after Davies saves his career a couple of times.

Vineeta Rishii as the Anglo-Indian policewoman is great in a supporting role.
