BOOKER

This afternoon, we finished watching the 22 episode first (and only) season of the crime drama "Booker" on Amazon Prime.
This is a 1989/90 spin-off from the classic crime series "21 Jump Street" Where Dennis Booker (Richard Grieco) quits the Police force and the Jump Street department and goes solo as a Private Investigator who also works as an Insurance Investigator for the Teshima Corporation.
The series is partially serious, with some humour thrown in to lighten the mood after an intense episode or two.
The guest cast list is really good, and the series was created by the master "Stephen J. Cannell"
We enjoyed every episode and I did not actually remember any of them as I watched this series only once when it first came out over here in the UK on Sky One back in 1990.
I do have a soft spot for Grieco as I have also loved him in the action comedy film "Teen Agent."
I will rate the whole series a score of 9/10.
It's just a shame that it only lasted for one season.
Booker is a hero of mine!
