Reactions and Reviews
The S&H story seemed to be first-season, though there was mention of The Pits at one point. The plot concerns itself with tracking down a drug dealer who was responsible for killing one of S&H's snitches. Unfortunately, the plot is rather difficult to follow through pages of fast-food complaints from Hutch, thumbnail sketches of street people and confusing dialog -- and S&H manage to solve the case only through a deus-ex-machina of tainted drugs. This story could have been better if it had been developed more fully, or if some of the 'color' had been trimmed to fit the length. There good points -- the beginning of Hutch waking from a noisy dream pulled me into the story, and some of the characterization bits were not bad at all. The ending was effective -- S&H in the style of Supercops, a showdown in a ghetto apartment. [1]
