Dani Reynolds (Jennifer O'Neill) is fashion photographer. Her life changes after her husband dies. She learned that her husband a mild mannered man was in reality a government agent. When she found out that he was murdered, she recruited a former Special Forces Green Beret and Vietnam Veteran Mac Harper to help her find her husbands killers. After they complete there mission, Henry Towler (Richard Anderson) her husband's boss, offers her husband's job to her. Basically, she would continue being a photographer and Mac one of her models. And Henry would send them anywhere in the world where there are Americans in trouble or criminals that need to be apprehended or enemies of the U.S. that had to be stopped, and they acted pretty much on their own. When Jon-Erik Hexum who played Mac Harper died, Jack Striker (Antony Hamilton) joined the show as an actual agent who joined Dani's team as the new model.

COMMENT:

I seldom give a 10 on a review, but this series was absolutely great, in my humble opinion. The music is first-rate as well. Watching the episode where Dani is told Mac is not coming back was so moving, there is no doubt that a bond existed between all the players. Jon-Erik Hexum's tragic demise truly hit them hard. They wrote his death into the script with grace and respect, almost reverence. I've been lucky enough to get an entire set of the show on DVD, so I am truly blessed. Jennifer O'Neill is stunningly beautiful and it is a shame we have not seen more of her in recent years. I am a fan of Richard Anderson as well, and he played his role convincingly, Jack Striker (Antony Hamilton) who replaced Jon-Erik Hexum after his death did a remarkable job, This was one of the best television series of the 1980's.
