Children of a Tempest Storm
Prismark104 February 2022
The story ties in with the pilot.

A rollerskating hitman goes for Spenser while he is out shopping. Spenser kills him but Hawk takes him to see the two now fatherless kids left behind.

Spenser feels guilt and brings the kids home. Susan is pregnant and wonders if Spenser could be a good father.

Meanwhile Hawk learns that a big contract is out on Spenser. All roads lead to King Powers who was incarcerated by Spenser with a little assistance from Hawk.

A welcome return by Chuck Connors with the old favourite, a shady solicitor who can get criminals off with a technicality.

There were some good action sequences as Spenser evades the hitmen. Although the first one that Powers hired, the single father on rollerskates was a bit odd.

One Of The Best Episodes!!

This episode was a continuation of where they left off from **Promised Land** the **The Pilot** Where they set up King Powers on an Arms Deal..Next up Powers puts a contact on Spenser and sends hit men after him to settle the score..The other subplot deals with Susan Silverman and her and Spenser's decision about getting an abortion..The episode opened with Spenser killing a hitman whose kids feature prominently in the episode..Lots of action, shootouts and of course Hawk!! The First Season of Spenser was the best!!

One of the worst episodes

Love the book series and the TV show's pretty true to the books. But this episode was absolutely dreadful. Unnecessarily maudlin and weepy. Childish screenplay and predictable dialogue. Just really bad. And Stock is awful as Silverman. Always moaning and depressed and dreary. Don't get why they picked her or chose to portray the character that way. This was a real stinkburger.
