Review of Mannix

Mannix (1967–1975)
5/10
How Mannix compares to Supernatural...
28 October 2023
... and I realize that's a weird comparison since this is a detective series and supernatural is about, well, the supernatural.

But my reaction to both Mannix and Supernatural are pretty much the same. If I miss an episode, it doesn't matter much to me, but if one or the either is on and I'm looking for something to watch or I need something to watch while I'm exercising, these two will fit the bill.

Connors, for some reason, just seemed so bland and never appealed to me as P. I. The two characters I did like were his secretary/receptionist Peggy and her young son. They were put in harm's way so much you have to wonder why she stuck around.

Also, the plots were just never that engaging. At one point Mannix even had a timely episode centering on the death penalty, and the show even managed to make that topic somewhat boring.

The show is a good time passer if you need one.
