Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
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

4.0 out of 5 stars The season that got me hooked, January 4, 2006

By	R. DeCristofaro (, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Set in West Palm Beach, Florida (but filmed in San Diego, California), Silk Stalkings was a sort of "Miami Vice" lite for the 90's. Telling the story of Homicide detectives Chris Lorenzo (Rob Estes) and Rita Lee Lance (Mitz Kapture), Silk Stalkings shows the detectives solving crimes of passion among those living the high life.

While I will admit that the show tends toward the cheesy, this guilty pleasure consistently entertained me throughout its 8 seasons. And despite the cast changes over the course of its run, the series remained watchable throughout. The possible exception is the latter half of the fifth season, but I will leave that for my review of that season.


Season Four starts off with a two-part episode "Natural Selection" that is surprisingly dramatic. These two episodes were the first episodes I saw when flipping through the cable channels during the original run of the series. I liked them enough that I continued to watch the show regularly. Soon enough, USA network put the show into a five-nights-a-week late night slot, and I quickly caught up on the first three seasons.

In addition to the usual story of Chris and Rita solving a murder each week, this season also saw good use of the supporting cast, including: Captain Lipschitz and his wife (played by vaudevillians Charlie Brill and Mitzi McCall, married in real life); Donnie "Dogs" DiBarto, the friendliest mafia don in Florida; and Atticus Dunn, who continued to scheme (and impose upon Chris' patience).

Season Four also continues to explore the relationship between the two main characters, Chris and Rita. Although both are involved in romantic relationships with others that ebb and flow over the course of the season, their dependence on each other deepens throughout, both professionally and personally. This is shown to good effect starting in the first episodes, and this central relationship of the series would be taken to its conclusion in the events of the first half of Season Five.

Although some might argue that the first half of the fifth season is a stronger group of episodes than season four as a whole, for my money seasons four was the strongest complete season of the series. Some weaknesses did start to show in the show's formula by this season, however. Certain plots began being recycled from earlier seasons, and a few guest stars from earlier seasons appeared playing different characters as well. But as a complete season, Season Four presents a very strong set of episodes, possibly the most coherent and enjoyable of the whole series.

While this show is personally a 5-star for me, the guilty pleasure factor and the lack of strong extras in the package led me to give this DVD release four stars. But for fans of this show, this season was the best of the bunch.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Tv Series to be missed, March 17, 2006

By	Lucia Daddario "costume designer" (Rio de Janeiro,Rj,Brazil) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

As I live in Brazil, I used do watch Silks Stalkings on cable.
I never missed an episode. The plots were really interesting
and Mitzy Kapture and Rob Estes had such a chemistry together
that made you really believed they were partners and best
friends!
As Mitzy got pregnant and she and Rob left the show,they stopped
airing it here, so it's amazing to be able to watch the best
late night series all over again!
I can't wait to buy season 5!
And even though it's been more than 10 years, the series haven't
aged a bit.Each episode mantains its charm,mistery, passion and
sometimes humor. A must see...

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the greatest seasons!, March 10, 2006

By	C. Efteland (Norway) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Silk stalkings 4th season is a smashing experience! With lots of action, drama and sad stories combined, this is the best season so far! Rita and Chris is still the all time favourite couple, now with new hair cuts and a tiny improvement considering their outfits. I highly recommend this show to all! Silk Stalkings is dearly missed, and watching gorgeus Rob Estes as Chris Lorenzo is a great bonus! Buy it!
