Kinda resembles a pilot for a cop/lawyer show that the networks gave up on, perhaps because the characters are not worth spending an hour with, let alone a season, and the direction by Paul Bogart is like a mid level episode of "Streets Of San Francisco", with a tired, standard establishing shot, often repeated, of the Hall Of Justice or the title character's home in what looks to be The Marina. As for the acting it's molto brutto (lots of Italian schtick in this thing) with Dino both phoning and, as previous reviewer plankton noted, punching it in, with a really awful looking sunlamp tan (unless he acquired it in Stinson Beach), Eugene Roche over acting and yelling and Cindy Williams annoyingly perky. African American actors fare better perhaps because they are less burdened by Robert Hoban's heavy, jokey dialogue. C minus.
