Michael Norrell's script (based on a story co-written with his brother, Jim) is sharp and often very funny in the way it sends up well-worn cliches and genres.  When blonde beauty Jackie witnesses the murder of a Government official, she finds herself being protected by cop Denise.

Ribbed at work by her mindlessly chauvinist colleagues, Denise returns home to her pet parrot Kojak who has a great line in famous TV cop phrases. Confronted by what seems to be the archetypal bimbo, our no-nonsense policewoman comes out with a sparkling stream of acid wisecracks.  3/4 Next Feature Back-Up Sports What's New

"Don't shift into friendly". But circumstances force the two to form a partnership in which each has something to learn from the other. But it is the dialogue which shines, sharp, genuinely witty and on-target. Cagney and Lacey? Who needs 'em? Give these two a series and sit back. David Carradine is suitably menacing as the villain but in the end the story takes second place to the style - which is exemplary.
