The fourth season of Silk Stalkings, Stephen J. Cannell's sexy B-grade cable series, begins with Sergeant Chris Lorenzo (Rob Estes) still recovering from his injuries at the end of season 3, though an attractive surgeon, Jillian Duprix (Nancy Valen, replaced in-season by Suanne Braun), helps ease his pain. Sergeant Rita Lance (Mitzi Kapture) can't wait to get her partner back, but his return nearly costs them both dearly and leads to Lorenzo's resignation from the Palm Beach police force. As usual, the Palm Beach homicide detectives hunt down their quota of sexual predators and other sordid offenders while running into dead ends with their personal relationships. Rita dates a former cop turned writer (Eric Pierpoint) with alcohol and financial problems. Chris struggles to understand why Jillian would bother to date an ordinary cop, then has to make a momentous decision when she wants him to move to Boston with her. When he hesitates, she knows that it's not just the job he doesn't want to leave behind. Yes, we knew it was coming--that crucial development that all flirtatious TV-police partners go through when the show needs a boost (but usually ends up jumping the shark). And even if we don't quite get there, the groundwork is laid for the events of the fifth season, which would end up being the last for both Kapture and Estes. Also starring real-life husband-and-wife comedy team Charlie Brill and Mitzi McCall as Captain Lipschitz and his wife, David Ciminello as Rita's foster brother, Gilbert Gottfried and Casper Van Dien as suspicious types, Constance Towers as the sister of an elder victim, and Kellie Overbey Shane as a trainee who accuses Chris of sexual harassment. --David Horiuchi

Summary: Scenic specialty 2008-10-05
Comment: Having been made in the late 80's, early 90's, it's surprising how up to date the plots and actions are. No cell phones but everything else A-ok.

Summary: The Best Season 2008-04-06
Comment: I love Silk Stalkings and think Season 2 is one of the best seasons. Some of the best episodes include Soul Kiss, Social Call, Hot Rocks and Goodtime Charlie. Rob Estes and Mitzi Kapture have great chemistry together and season 2 really plays on that.
The only problem I had was one episode was cut short by 10 minutes but I emailed Anchor Bay Entertainment and they mailed me a new disc so I got to finally see the episode.
If you are a classic Silk Stalkings Fan I highly Recommend this season.

Summary: Good, sexy, glitzy drama - with some DVD problems 2008-03-26
Comment: I love this mystery/romance series mainly because of the chemistry between Rob Estes and Mitzi Kapture. Admittedly, the stories and writing are a little light and unbelieviable but the two stars along with an excellent supporting cast keep the series interesting. I think it is certainly meant to be more eye candy than engrossing mystery but it does succeed in providing a good 45 minutes of entertaiment.
I am a little disappointed in the quality of the DVD. The episode "Dead Weight" is evidently missing about 8-10 minutes of video. I had the closed caption on and the captions don't come close to matching the scene with "Cotton", (John Byner) which is indeed the final scene of the program. The capture of the murderer is completely omitted. In these high tech days, this is just inexcusable. Also, as another reveiwer mentioned, the 55 second intro to each disk cannot be fast forwarded or skipped. The chapter division is practically unusable. But these are technical problems which do not take away from the intrinsic quality of the show.

Summary: Silky Smooth 2008-01-07
Comment: I am a big fan of this show. I was disappointed however when I opened the box set and Disc 3 was not with this puchase.
The show still rocks. Rita and Chris are the Vice Cops of the 90s.

Summary: Better than I even remember 2007-08-16
Comment: One more t.v. series I came across while looking on Amazon that I added to my Wish List and received as a birthday present. I was skeptical of my taste in the early 90s vs. today. I remember thinking it was a kind of a newer, maybe shallower Miami Vice-style, that was pretty risqué for regular cable t.v. I used to watch it sporadically on USA late at night, but probably never saw two episodes in a row.
My fiancée and I watched the first episode with my parents. None of us really got into it and I felt a little disappointed. A little while later (days? a week?) my fiancée and I were looking for something to watch that wasn't too long, so we gave it another whirl. After the second episode we were hooked and preceded to watch a bunch, one after another. We cruised through the First Season way too fast that I even found myself watching the Extras! To make a long story short, we're about half way through the Fifth Season now and dread the inevitable, that this is the last season out on DVD.
Yes, there is 90s cheese, florescent outfits that we can't believe we thought were cool, some questionable hairdos, swimsuits, only large-chested women always seemingly getting out of a pool at the crime scene wearing a thong bikini, every episode opens with a sex scene that ends in someone's death, and the list goes on and on. However, we are totally hooked and love every episode and season! It's part romantic comedy, part t.v. detective series drama. I loved Miami Vice, but usually didn't find myself laughing whereas with Silk we are laughing during every episode and feeling good at the end of them. There also is very little blood and gore. You get the idea of what happened, but often see no blood when someone is killed. The chemistry between Chris and Rita as well as them and the others characters is great. I would say our only disappointment is you get attached to a few characters that all of the sudden never show up again in an episode (some of the coroners, Cotton, etc.). Also, they are kind of bad about reusing characters that had such strong parts in episodes that it is sometimes weird to see them again in a different episode as someone different. All in all, 5-Stars!
