Ultime recours

This is the all-time great overlooked series that is so little remembered, it doesn't even qualify for cult status. I managed to see it on late-night TV in Sweden, and I was astonished by the quality of the writing. Everything about it was consistently top drawer from episode one, unlike virtually every other great show I can think of. No wobbly, awkward start here.

Some series just come and go under the radar, nobody seems to take notice. What a shame that happened with this show. Don't hold your breath for a deluxe DVD box set, but that's exactly what "Vengeance Unlimited" deserves.

It is super great awesome fantasticorama! I mean that. Super and awesome and fantastic. Michael Madsen is great and all the episodes of the TV show were almost as good as the movie!

When I first saw the commercials for Vengeance Unlimited, I knew that this was one program that I mustn't miss. I was right! Vengeance Unlimited was a great series with good triumphing over evil and the wrongdoers getting what they deserved. It brought to mind the old classic series "The Equalizer," but unlike the gentleman avenger Mr.McCall, Mr.Chapel really leaned hard on the scales of justice. ABC, the network which carried Vengeance Unlimited, along with other networks have gone out of the way to prop up flop programs, and defy the tastes of the viewers by canceling some great shows. Examples are Love, Sidney; Joannie Loves Chachi; Ellen Degeneres;along with countless other shows which started out as ideas that belonged in the trash from the start. I wish that Vengeance Unlimited was never taken off the air. A box set would be a distant 2nd best thing to returning to production.

I caught this series when it first aired, purely by channel surfing. As it was shot in the location where I live, I could relate to a lot of the local shots. Michael Madsen played this role brilliantly. I was amazed when it didn't return the next season.

It was a brilliantly written production and the acting was great. The dry "wit" and the characters were "right on". It is a shame to see such good material go on the back burner when there is so much other "low quality" stuff on the air.

Michael and Crew... You did a superb job.. Sorry it didn't get renewed or recognized the way it should have. It is something that should have lasted as long as " The Fugitive" of the 60's and 70's..

Hopefully it can be renewed and Michael would do it again.

I really enjoyed this show. It's all about justice and doing the right thing. I loved how Chapel managed to punish the bad guys with a sophisticated scam. He made them go crazy and incriminated them in something they hadn't really done- all to make sure they don't go unpunished from the horrible things they have really done. I like Chapel's character- he has a unique sense of humor, he's a bit cocky and sure of himself, very cunning and truly cares about the wrongs in the world. His goal is to fight evil and injustice and in his own words:" We live in a world, you and I, where people can kill someone and get a book deal out of it because they hire the right lawyer, or they get an acting teacher who teaches them how to cry on camera. KC:"You think you can change all that?" Chapel:"Well, maybe not, but I don't have to tolerate it."

Michael Madsen is excellent as Chapel. He has this tough-and-rough look about him (which is why he usually plays the bad guys...) which really fits Chapel's character. Kathleen York is great too as KC- Chapel's assistant.

The idea of the show, plots, script, acting- everything is great. Too bad it only lasted 1 season before it was canceled (only god knows why...). If you have the chance- watch this show. I promise you'll be feeling very satisfied when the episode ends and thinking: "Yes! Chapel really nailed that guy...".

Watch and enjoy.
