9/10

I admit it's been a long time since I've watched Starsky And Hutch, which makes it a little hard to review. But thinking back to watching the show as it aired for the first time I remember it had a huge impact on me. I was 12 years old at the time so I was easily influenced. But this was probably the first time I saw the real value in friendship and dedication to that friendship above all else. Not to mention being obsessed with a damn cool tomato red Gran Torino! It might be time for a rewatch.

You've reached the end.
