i love this show when i be in high school . hunter be a kick as and take no prisoner kind of cop and even in the first 3 season where only a few suspect be actually kill when confront by hunter and mccall . in the last few season more and more of the suspect hunter try to arrest for murder pull weapon on him and end up dead . that make it a little tiresome although i never tire of see hunter confront criminal . the idiotic and bleeding heart approach to law enforcement especially the warning shot policy issue by hunter captain ( michael cavanaugh ) in the pilot episode really annoy me in the first two season . john amos be somewhat likable a hunter captain save for his hatred of hunter method and what seem to be his personal mission to get rid of hunter . the character of sgt . terwillegar ( james whitmore and jr ) be as dumb a they come while a blustering buffoon who appear more suited to teach at a university than a a homicide detective . commander cain ( arthur rosenberg ) be even more loathsome while he be a man who be a politician first and a policeman second . captain devane ( the late charles hallahan ) be probably the most likable of all of their superior and though he be a strictly by the book cop . some of hunter earlier superior remind me of dirty harry superior and captain briggs ( bradford dillman of the enforcer and sudden impact ) who be on a single mind crusade to get rid of harry . most of the story center around hunter and mccall case usually homicides while one episode that make my skin crawl be one that appear in season 2 where mccall be rap by the son or a foreign diplomat and who then insist his psychopathic son be a saint and shield his son from answer for his criminal behavior behind diplomatic immunity . that particular one make me sick . i be hop that season 3 and 4 will be release on dvd these be the one that i think be the best time for the show . captain devane be in charge and hunter and mccall be strictly work homicide and and there be no subplot about the nefarious plan of hunter superior to can him except in a couple of episode feature cmdr . cain ( rosenberg ) . bring on season 3 and 4 .
