Again proof that the Eighties were awesome!
Your read correctly. The Eighties were awesome. Knight Rider,The
A-team, Miami Vice,Stingray, Airwolf, and much much more and then there
was Street Hawk. It was great being a kid back then. Fantastic looking
super vehicles that could do these amazing stunts, what is not to love
about it. So yes of course this is pure nostalgia. Still, shows like
these were proof that they were far more creative than they are in
current days. Now I must admit that if you take out the eighties and
purely look it as an action show then you will find it a bit bland. The
stunts are not that impressive. But what wins you over right from the
bat and what actually is one of the reasons the show has any kind of
popularity is the soundtrack. Tangerine Dream simply makes this bland
show in a ultra cool one. The best scenes are the scenes where the main
character is cruising around or dealing with the bad guys while the
theme is playing in the background. So don't go expecting something
spectacular. But as lightweight crime shows goes this one has likeable
characters and just enough action to keep you entertained.
