Mike Land, détective

The episode that we are watching now was the last straw, I needed to get this off of my chest--- WTF?!?

There are blatant, noticeable inconsistencies throughout this entire series and it makes me crazy. Currently watching episode 16 and, at the beginning, Mike Land buys a blue GTO convertible. The only problem is that he was driving this same convertible in the previous episode, and earlier ones as well.

In episode 14, Mike practically introduced himself to the police chief when, in several episodes before that, the chief and Mike were hanging out, driving around, acting like they knew each other (which they did).

And often, the conversation becomes so... stupid. Mike going on and on to Willis about how the Chicago Cubs should have "Chicago" on the front of their uniforms, not "cubs". Absolutely nothing to do with the story.

Fred Dryer is not a great actor, perhaps he used all of his talent playing Hunter. Willis P Dunlevy is not much better, delivering many lines in a very wooden, unemotional way.

Sometimes it's painful to watch.

The writing, the plots, are predictable and sometimes just plain odd.

That being said, it's a decent way to pass time during several cold winter evenings. Even with all of its faults, Lands End is better than many of the series on network television now.
