Silk Stalkings is considerably the best cop show on television today. The homicide cases were interesting and tends to get even better week after week!!!Most importantly, the thing that keeps viewers watching is the relationship between the lead cast... For the first 5 years, Rob Estes and Mitzi Kapture were cast as Chris and Rita and have certainly earned the respect of fans of the show. For the next 3 years, Chris Potter and Janet Gunn took over as Tom Ryan and Cassy St.John, this cast was in my opinion better than the first 2. However, both teams have EXCELLENT CHEMISTRY and portrayed their roles extremely well. Charlie Brill who plays Captain Lipschitz was hilarious in his part. SPOILERS AHEAD
The only downside of this show is the endings.The first "silk" cast had a sad ending. Rob's character Chris Lorenzo died somewhere in the middle of the 5th season leaving his wife Rita Lance pregnant with his child. The newer "silk" cast didn't really got an ending at all.They just left cliffhangers (unresolved questions) everywhere as to what is the outcome of Tom and Harry?????? Will Cassy ever forgive Tom???? It had lasted for 8 years but judging from the ratings it got, it should never have got cancelled.....Perhaps people could write in to usanetwork and ask for a movie to be made....tie up loose ends from the 8th season.
