Something special and uniquely powerful about this show
9 January 2020
Even after all these years, this show still stands up. At least, first two seasons do. Third is a bit odd. Interesting and fun still, but somehow not quite in rythm with the two that preceded it...

Cade Foster is a legendary hero. The twice blessed man... And hell, so is Crazy Eddie. I am not sure why this show affected me this much, but I think it has something to do with the depth of the character development and strength of the actors. Amidst the constant action and fun new adventures every week, you come to know them all a little. You (read I) really end up caring for them, even Joshua, and well, of all the tv show characters I have "met" over the years, these are some of the coolest, kindest, and strongest people out there.

The episodes are mostly standalone, yet slowly cumulative. Up until the third season, I would say pace is perfect. Then, well, yeah, it's like a car that shifts from second gear right into fifth... a slow awkward transition that doesn't quite pull anything off... but still eventually gets you to the crescendo...
