I'm only giving this classic series 8 stars because of season 4. I've knocked 2 stars off because the final season is extremely poor quality.
Apparently JT and DW were both reluctant to do the final season as they thought the series was played out. And they were absolutely right.
So that's the bad. Now the 10 star stuff.
I watched this series when first shown and as a young boy I was blown away. Just as all the bad guys were.
Sure it's brutal and some of the comments will have the PC police weeping and running for their guardian newspapers.
You can't change our history. But you can rewrite and censor it. Those who wouid censor and rewrite also portray themselves as the defenders of freedom and democracy How incongruous.
John Thaw is magnificent. Dennis Waterman is equally good. When were either, ever less than good.
The writing is sharp. The action is brutal.
And for those who admire freedom and democracy, the dialogue is a scream.
A perfect series for 3 seasons.
If only they'd listened to the Sweeney and stopped when they were ahead.
Maybe then, they would have had their dinner.
