Title: Wiseguy...Pure Genius !
Review: This was one great series and it's influence is still seen today!It had everything, great writing,compelling characters and brilliant performances.Wiseguy pretty much invented the story arc format(one story over a number of weeks),this made it possible to add real depth,subplot and character development, which is sadly lacking in so many other prime time shows.Ken Wahl was terrific as under cover FBI agent Vincent Michael Terranova, whose 'Wiseguy'cover, enabled him to infiltrate east coast organised crime.The series showcased some of the most memorable villains ever on TV and perfectly mirrored the late Eighties ethos of power,money and greed.... the Charasmatic,yet ultimately tragic mob boss Sonny Steelgrave (Ray Sharkey),the profoundly psychotic billionaire Mel Profit(Kevin Spacey)and the brilliantly vein and egocentric record company mogul Sir Winston Newquay(Tim Curry).This is a must buy for fans, or if you're new to it get it anyway, you wont regret it!
