Just finished watching every episode from both of the series. It was highly enjoyable even if it started to get a tad repetitive towards the end.
I thought Kent Smith was excellent as Edgar Scoble. Sadly a somewhat overlooked actor. David Vincent of course was perfectly cast and also a great actor. Very impressive how he underplayed the role.
Many aspects of the series are really interesting and absorbing.
Throughout watching it though, I kept wondering why every episode seemed to keep focusing on people getting in and out of cars all of the time and also usually involved one or more car chases. I would have instead enjoyed it a bit more if it focused on flying saucers or other alien technology more regularly and a bit more sci-fi.
I always thought that the bits with cars could have been cut out as they were not in any way essential to the plot. I mean let's just get down to business. I just didn't need to watch a car pull up into a motel parking lot about 100 times in all, across the various episodes! In fact eventually I kept on hoping that the next episode would not have any cars in it.
And then of course after watching all episodes, I finally learnt from several independent sources that the series was sponsored by the Ford Motor Company. Well that explains it all, the series would probably not have even been made without their financial backing. No wonder it seemed like a car show at times. I think perhaps they did overdo the product placement just a bit though! Still, I really like the series. Shame it was axed without a satisfactory ending.
