L.A. Heat

Brilliant show. Excellent cast. The best show of it's kind on tv. The imaginative stories combined with the high standard of acting and production make this series stand out in a class of it's own. It helps of course that Wolf Larson and Stephen Williams are so talented in all ways.

I have been a mood to watch 90's shows. Recently Silk Stalking which I loved. This past month Tarzan from early 90's. That's where I discovered Wolf Larson as Tarzan running about saving the jungle from pesticides, poachers, gold diggers etc all in only a butt flap. So, I wanted to check him out in L. A Heat, he's obviously wearing the crazy baggy colorful clothes, blazers with shoulder pads etc 90's style. He and Steven Williams make amusing partners. Lots of chemistry. Ya it is like Lethal Weapon. There's so many car crashes and fires and people walk away without a scratch(which is good?)Once August had his harmonica in his pocket which saved his life when he was shot. Anyways, being a woman I would prefer a little more romance. Male partners are great, like White Collar but nothing beats a female and male together. This show is entertaining, Wolf Larson is really cute and fit, Steven Williams is a great actor. But the car crashes are getting old for me...I'll probably watch an episode here and there during the day when I have nothing to do because both actors are fun to watch.

This show reminds me of all of the buddy cop, wild car chase, exploding building movies of the late 80 's and early 90's! Not a heavy story line but lots of action! Reminds me of why I liked the action movies from that era!!

"L.A. Heat" is one of my all-time favorite TV shows from the 90's. It has a very interesting and intriguing story line, many intense action scenes, good humor, impressive locations etc. Many people compare this series to the Lethal Weapon franchise. Well, I consider it as a TV version of Lethal Weapon.

The cast did a great job too. Wolf Larson was brilliant as Det. Chester 'Chase' McDonald. Yes, he reminded me of Mel Gibson's Martin Riggs. Believe me, Chase was as great as Riggs. Steven Williams, Renee Tenison, Dawn Eason and Kenneth Tigar were no less impressive.

The main theme is another achievement of this show. Even nowadays it sounds very fresh. BRAVO!! There is only one bad thing about this show - it was canceled! It deserved way more than 2 seasons.

Brilliant but so underrated series!!!

TV cop dramas don't get cooler or wackier than this. "L.A. Heat" makes a great carbon copy for "Lethal Weapon" and "Miami Vice". They got all the trimmings for a typical cop show: two cops, black and white, a funny chemistry between them, great action sequences, a bossy, loudmouth captain (Kenneth Tigar) and the cops' hot lovers (Dawn Radenbaugh and Renee Tenison). Wolf Larson makes a cool cross between Sonny Crockett and Martin Riggs as Chase McDonald, being crazy and stylish at the same time, while Steven Williams is August Brooks, the calm, methodical partner; a more of a smooth Rodger Murtaugh!! Together, they clean up the usual trash that lurks in the fine streets of L.A., chasing down drug dealers, serial killers, mobsters, punks; you name it, Chase and August had busted them down!
