The new season begins when Hill covers an old friend who appears to have personal troubles and uses excessive force while in detention. In those moments, Kofi arrests an old friend of the family during his visit to the area where he lived, and Faye offers her fiancée to all, while the breakdown of negotiations between the police union and the city appears.
It dares you to turn the dial. It's typical of "Hill Street's" authentic glimpses of police life -- raw, funny and human -- instead of fitting glossy fantasy into a conventional TV format.
Hill Street Blues is back. With a vengeance... The entire hour is marvelously paced, with pains taken to humanize the show's previously exaggerated characters.
It is exactly the kind of complex drama that has earned the show widespread critical acclaim and a small but fiercely loyal following. But it probably is also a good example of why others have avoided it like the plague.
Put together with a gritty realism, the show skillfully blends serious, often intense drama with the black humor and the inspired occasional wackiness needed to maintain sanity in such a situation.
