Cruising the used DVDs with Leee at Rasputin's on Saturday, I came across a disc of 4 episodes of this long-forgotten NYC cop show. AND...how great is it? Anyone that knows anything about it, come and tell me your 8 million stories.

Hard-boiled pop-psych voiceover, Bronx location shooting, stairwell shootouts, and a young Robert Duvall as a John Fante-esque bank robber with Norman Bates-esque family issues.

I just watched the one with Walter Matthau! And I wondered if Adam would be down with this proto-Chiklis action!

NO, NOT the John Zorn thing OR the bad Channel 4 magazine show with Caitlin Moran. This is something else.

Walter Matthau!!

He was a rich dude who kept buying his wife expensive jewelry and then she would sell it and have fakes made up so that her husband would be none the wiser. The guy she was in cahoots (cahoots!) with was also in league with a gang who was planning to (and over the course of the episode DID, in fact) steal the world's largest uncut diamond.
Stark psychodrama, absolutely gorgeous exterior shots! Menacing v/o!
