Editorial Reviews

Season One Private investigator Laura Holt has a problem: no one appears interested in hiring a female private eye. Her solution? She invents a boss named Remington Steele, changes her agency name to Remington Steele Detective Agency and suddenly she has more cases than she can handle. But then something she didn't plan on ever having to deal with shows up at her door: Remington Steele in the flesh! Season Two As Laura and Remington continue to fight crime, and their growing attraction to each other, Laura catches tantalizing glimpses into her partner's mysterious and very private past. Remington is always reluctant to accept cases involving any of his old acquaintances, no matter what side of the law they're on. Yet despite the secrets, the twosome know they need to be able to trust each other completely after a series of investigations puts them directly in the line of fire. Season Three Private investigators Laura Holt and Remington Steele are back, spanning the globe and uncovering murder, mystery and intrigue wherever they go! From the exotic isle of Malta to the Emerald Isle of Ireland, and from the sultry French Riviera to the smoking-hot Las Vegas Strip, no puzzle is too perplexing, no job is too dangerous, and no setting is too glamorous for the pair of supersleuths from the Remington Steele Detective Agency in the thrilling third season. Season Four & FIve It's business as usual at the Remington Steele Detective Agency, which means a caseload bursting with action, adventure, romance and danger! It's all in a day's work for the enchanting Laura Holt and the dashing Remington Steele, whose personal and professional relationships continue to heat up. Season Four finds the jet-setting detective duo solving crimes at home and around the world, and Season Five features the show's thrilling final episodes in which Steele's shadowy past clashes head-on with his uncertain future.

Remington Steele was a truly stylish television show that tapped into the kind of Stanley Donen light mystery with romance that was missing from the movies. Pierce Brosnan and Stephanie Zimbalist were perfectly cast and the show only got better with each episode. The evocative Henry Mancini theme music captured the sense of mystery and romance perfectly.

Laura Holt (Zimbalist) couldn't get her private detective agency off the ground in spite of her skills until she invented the phantom agency head, Remington Steele. Business was booming and everything was going swell until Pierce Brosnan showed up and assumed the identity of the nonexistent Steele! Brosnan's Steele was debonair and stylish, his past a shady mystery ala' "To Catch a Thief."

Each season Laura discovered new things about his past in Ireland and his exploits in other countries. Steele was a classic film buff and would make constant references to films of the 1930's and 1940's pertaining to the case. It made all us film buffs who knew just what he was talking about feel like we were insiders, and was one of the many charms of this wonderful show.

Brosnan and Zimbalist were a terrific screen couple in the tradition of all those ones we remember fondly. There was a fun anticipation for viewers as week after week we watched the two become involved in a mystery while they danced around their growing affection for each other. And it was always fun as little tidbits of Steele's past were discovered by Laura. Season one had one of the best episodes (Vintage Steele) as the tables were turned and Steele got a glimpse at Laura's past!

The overall quality of the show improved with season two as Doris Roberts was added to the cast as Mildred Krebs, and two other characters were lost. The show became even more fun than before, and both Brosnan and Stephanie Zimbalist settled in for good as everyone's favorite TV couple. The show never looked back after season two began.

Season three's "Steele Trying" was perhaps the most representative episode of what Remington Steele was all about. Steele invents a case as a ruse so the two can whisk off for a romantic San Francisco weekend. It all goes awry, of course, when there turns out to be a very real case which interferes with all Steele's plans. Wonderful music and a romantic backdrop add to the fun as Remington and Laura have fun and a little romance along the way as they solve the mystery.

Brosnan and Zimbalist had a wonderful repore and viewers fell in love with Michael Gleason's show from the start. Both leads had a flair for comedy which was mingled with the romance and mystery, making for sophisticated fun. Doris Roberts added mightily to the feel of the show as she adored the "Boss" but loved Laura also. Both Brosnan and Zimbalist became creative forces behind the camera over time but it was Michael Gleason who made and kept the show fun and interesting week after week.

Few shows hold a soft spot in viewer's hearts like Remington Steele. It was romantic mystery and escapism for an hour each week and classic film fans especially loved this show. One of the best shows ever on television as pure entertainment. A must have for fans.

4.0 out of 5 stars Steele (even more) perfect! October 29, 2008
It is not often that you have the opportunity to watch a favourite series/film of your childhood and realise that it is actually BETTER than you remember. Well - Remington Steele is one of those series. Sometimes the stories could be better. But the photo, the lighting, the clothes and scenery and above all the ACTORS are brilliant. The way Stephanie Zimbalist, Pierce Brosnan and Doris Roberts do physical comedy reminds you of Cary Grant, Kathrine Hepburn and other classical stars. The series actually catches the feeling of classic Hollywood movies in many aspects. And the chemistry between Zimbalist and Brosnan is fantastic - as are the stunts and many 'physical' aspects, like Laura and Remington running in evening dresses - how can plain RUNNING be that fun?

My only reason for giving only four stars is the box. The double side DVD system is not to my liking. It gives a 'cheap' touch to a glamorous series. It also makes it very easy to damage the discs and the extra material is spread all over the discs, which is sad since it is very nice extra material.

I have an European edition of the first season, which is of much higher quality. I will definitely buy the rest of the seasons as they are released in Europe to have a better Remington box. But the series is just great!

For being as old as these are, the stories still hold up really well. I didn't remember as many kisses between Laura and Remington, but it seems that every episode has them. Read more
