West Coast Story blends financial despair and the titular star-crossed lovers with a surprising amount of humor. Who knew that Hamish could smile so much? Perhaps it was because he spent more of the episode on the questionable side of the law than actually enforcing it? Whatever the reason, this was the best episode of the series to date with plenty to enjoy and moments of heart ache. Plenty of singing and West Side Story woven throughout as well as paralleled. Highly entertaining.

Excellent in every way

Terrific story line, relating it to West Side Story. Too bad they didn't clear the copyright barriers. The script, the depth of character, and the acting are all superb. The only drawback is a 26 year old woman being bound to do what her father says. Oh well, there's no such thing as perfection. As far as TV episodes are concerned, this one came close.
