Pizzaowner Review of Juliet Bravo

Juliet Bravo (1980–1985)

Coulda....shoulda....mighta.....but didn't!

[4/10 · 23 September 2015]

I just had occasion to acquire a full set of this show and was looking forward to something a little different than the usual small town copper show. A woman head was in itself a good idea but realistically for a woman to rise to that position would have required her to be more than great at her previous position and a major flair for leadership. NOTHING in here history that we are aware of tells us this is so and he 'people' skills are severely lacking. The actress chosen is, unfortunately COMPLETELY wrong for the part....they even change her hair style to make her more 'butch' but her demeanor with the troops is that of a den mother not a boss. The writing is, at times EXCELLENT....sadly, far too often negated by ridiculous, preposterous, pompous and chauvinistic scripts reminiscent of the 50's. Most of the rest of the cast is 'acceptable'.....but no-one stands out at all except for Mr Grout who, playing the meager part written for him, overdoes it. All in all it's a complete mystery why such a flavourless and lackluster show could last that many seasons.....somebody must have had some dirt on somebody important. Don't waste much time on this thing.
