Season 1 Review: It's a harmless, standard-issue - cheesy - detective (actually, insurance investigator) series in the vein of Rockford Files-like unwilling heroes. [2 Nov 1988]

Orlando SentinelGreg DawsonAug 7, 2014
Season 1 Review: Segal has a certain bombastic charm as he quaffs and quips his way through the part of Daedelus, the phoniest Irishman to hit the small screen since the last Irish Spring commercial. Han, who made her TV debut in the miniseries Space, is a good foil for Segal. She can act a little, which is all that's called for. [2 Nov 1988]

Chicago TribuneClifford TerryAug 7, 2014
Season 1 Review: Twisting up his face in perpetual puzzlement and speaking in a strange accent that sounds like a combination of Belfast and the Bronx, Segal, who looks more and more like a younger version of Burgess Meredith, takes on a character who, in his own words, has "a track record like dog poop." [2 Nov 1988]

Boston GlobeEd SiegelAug 7, 2014
Season 1 Review: Segal's nasal, hard-bitten delivery is dreadful here, and his relationship with the beautiful Maggie Han is preposterous. [2 Nov 1988]

Season 1 Review: A series so monumentally meaningless, so pathetically puerile, so irredeemably ridiculous that, within my limited professional context, it prompts the Biggest Question of them all: Why is there television? [2 Nov 1988]
