#HardcastleAndMcCormick s2e7 (1984) - 8/10
1️⃣ Smart, layered script from series creator #PatrickHasburgh, who also directed.
2️⃣ #RayBuktenica is simply excellent as the villain.
3️⃣ The car chase (and car crash) at the end is *spectacular*.

📺 I love my '80s action shows.
Averages from the last 7 episodes I reviewed/rated.
1️⃣ #Riptide (8.4/10)
2️⃣ #HardcastleAndMcCormick (8.3/10)
2️⃣ #TJHooker (8.3/10)
4️⃣ #MikeHammer (6.1/10)
📺 Kinda not surprised to see that I like Hammer least, because the scripts are often weak/average.
📺 Kinda not surprised to see that I like Riptide most, because the scripts are mostly very good.

#HardcastleAndMcCormick s2e6 (1984) - 8/10
1️⃣ Because the guys aren’t private eyes, the show has to find inventive ways to get them into stories. This is one of the best ideas. Milt becomes a TV star!
2️⃣ Genuinely suspenseful middle sequence, where the psycho killer follows (and murders) one of the show’s producers, late at night in deserted offices. Really well done.
3️⃣ Great chemistry/humour between the leads here. Very funny, without actual gags in the script.
📺 My 237th TV episode of 2023.
