The positives of this show are Ben Cross, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Barbara Steele. They consistently made this show highly entertaining and watchable. Fyfe and Lysette Anthony were memorable as well. The look of the show was very classy. It seemed to me at the time and now coming back to it after all these years that the producers were attempting to ride the TWIN PEAKS wave. It wasn't successful. The Victoria Winters character just wasn't strongly conceived enough. I have to say that Roy Thinnes as Trask should have been given more focus. The great Jean Simmons is wasted but its more the problem with a script that doesn't offer a lot to do.
