It is a performances centric movie

I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

I'm sure anyone from the 80s remembers this show. A piece of trivia:Pierce Brosnan signed on to play James Bond in the late 80s, but then had to back out when this show (which everyone thought had been cancelled) got renewed at the last minute, and was able to take the role in the 90s. It involved a lady who created a detective agency and put her name on the door;when no one would hire a detective agency with a woman's name, business boomed when she created a fictitious boss and put HIS name on the door. Problems arouse when they started wanting to meet him, which were solved when a thief with a mysterious past (which, along with his real name, was never revealed) assumed the boss's identity.This show had a good combination of drama, mystery, comedy, and romance. It was funny to see Brosnan's character struggle to learn the detective trade and act out classic movie scenes to help solve cases, and the episodes featured fun cases. Anyone curious about 80s TV mystery dramas should watch this to satisfy their curiosity.*** out of ****

I watched this show with my first girlfriend since it all started and we love it dearly until now. it got everything, romance, action, comedy, suspense, excellent writers/directors and the plots, you can never guess( even just one of them) what will happen or who done who. that is good entertainment! the show treat their audience intelligently unlike "moonlighting". Pierce is very good so as Doris Roberts but all hands up to Stephanie, her timing is excellent and her portrayal of the character is very inspiring to woman during that time! independent, brilliant, sporty and yet sophisticated cute private detective. i have a huge crush on her! Now here in England, i found out that reruns is on in CBS Action channel, Bravo! even though its 5am i do still watching and enjoying it! God bless this cable channel! too bad the DVD collection is on NTSC format and and only season 1 and 2 on PAL. but still i bought all....the best TV show for me no.1. " Steele in chips" episode season 3 is one of the best..

The casting of Pierce Brosnan as Remington Steele, private investigator, and Stephanie Zimbalist as Laura Holt, the private investigator who conjured up the name in order to get her business moving. After all, a woman private investigator did not fare well in the world. Remington Steele pops up and there is obvious chemistry between the two characters. Steele is charismatic, charming, and seductive while Holt is more straight and lacks a sense of humor at times. There is no question that Steele steals the scenery right out from under her. Anyway, the two cast mates do have chemistry. The addition of Doris Roberts before she was known as Marie Boyle on Everybody Loves Raymond gave her a supporting role. This show was light but not as a feather nor dark or too serious. It had a comedy and drama mixed in together which was why it worked for 5 seasons in the golden age of television.

Not only were the mysteries satisfying and the characters both intriguing and likable, but the smooth jazz of the theme and soundtrack were unbeatable and the best since Peter Gunn. Beyond that, the dialog and banter was intelligent. Sometimes, you actually have to think about the reference and connect the dots to get to the laugh. Heaven forbid that should happen on TV today )which probably explains why I don't watch much original TV). I started watching the Season One DVDs and it was like meeting an old friend I hadn't seen for years. I've introduced my 18 year old son to "Remington Steele" and he finds them as entertaining as I do. New we have to wait until November for Season Two!
