  • Rather Bland!

    With six episodes, three in two parts, you're getting a fair deal for your money! The plots are slow-moving, and with no background music, a vivid impression of what life was like back then in the early 1970s, is portrayed. Particularly good is that most of the characters are far removed from the Hollywood glamour models associated with series such as Rockford Files, thereby adding to the authenticity. The criminals are often shown as ugly, sleazy individuals - more convincingly so than on any other series in my opinion. Anything negative to say? Unfortunately yes! The episodes do lack the charisma associated with Dixon of Dock Green, and the dynamism associated with series such as The Saint or The Persuaders. Obviously, these are of a different genre, but I mention this because even the black and white series of The Saint, dating back to the early 1960s, has better plot development; more interesting characters and a lot more action. Z-Cars comes across as bland in comparison. In fairness, three of the episodes are good and I particularly like the way the complete absence of any decency in one of the characters is portrayed, without recourse to violence. A psychopathic personality need not necessarily result in murder and violence!
