Reviews

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Jakoba True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
Josephina Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
dougweinberg Outstanding series for the first four and a half years. From the beginning Chris (Rob Estes) and Rita (Mitzi Kapture) have great chemistry. By episode eight in season five, the emotions and relationship mature and Silk Stalkings turns into a true romance series.The next six episodes are pure genius. Anyone who enjoys a good love story will be glued to the tube. The crimes take a back seat and the character development of Chris and Rita take center stage. Call me a romantic, but at times you forget that this is a crime drama.When it is all said and done, you will feel deprived to not know and only dream where Chris and Rita's lives could have gone next.
demon_dhoffren As popular as CSI is these days, I don't even watch. I'm not interested. The few episodes that I have watched I found boring. What captivated me about Silk Stalkings is the way the writers treated relationships (Buffy has this same genius). Great action and adventure coupled with incredible long term story and character development makes for irresistible entertainment.I can't wait for the series to come out on DVD (I won't have to wait long since it is due out Sept. 28th).

screenhound22 Spoilers ahead--probably.I'm in a rather unique position. I'm a fan of both vintage Silk (Chris and Rita--played by Rob Estes and Mitzi Kapture) and New Silk (Tom and Cassy played by Chris Potter and Janet Gunn). The writing quality was--respectable, I guess and the on screen chemistry between the characters of Chris and Rita was superb. So there was some intelligence mixed in with the eye candy. Then both stars quit in 1995. The ending of vintage Silk was extraordinarily depressing, particularly because they couldn't decide which ending to use. They had the dream sequence kiss that was such a tremendous relief and fun to watch and then the stark news that Chris had died (I think in surgery). The closing shot of the ep was of Rita looking through the hospital window, absolutely spiritually destroyed. Their replacements (Holly & Mike?) were absolutely horrible. They were beautiful physical specimens, of course, but neither of them could act very well--(though, by the by, I did see Tyler Layton guest-star on Charmed that one time and she succeeded rather well, so maybe she improved her technique in the ensuing 2-3 years after she left this show). Tom and Cassy were nowhere near as engaging as the original pair and the writing dropped off seriously at the end, but it was still an enjoyable hour of television. I didn't realize that Peckinpah was the creative force behind vintage Silk. Die-hard Chris and Rita fans claim the loss of his influence killed the show. Trust me, it didn't. And I've also watched Peckinpah drive other successful series into the ground (like Sliders). Still, now that USA has gone respectable, don't expect to see them marketing anything like this or Pac Blue or anything resembling Sunday Night Heat ever again. That isn't a bad thing, but it's a fact that should be accepted.
Frank-31 Silk Stalkings is; for what it is and it doesn't pretend to be anything else; great viewing, especially the episodes with Chris and Rita, the other pair just don't have the same screen effect.
