WHO CARES ABOUT HE HOMOSEXUAL THEME? THIS IS AN EXCELELNT POLICE/ DETECTIVE SERIES. I LIKE THIS JUST LIKE THE ROCKFORD FILES, MCMILLAN AND WIFE, QUINCY AND ALL THE OTHERS. GREAT CHOICE FOR PEOPLE TO WATCH IF THEY LIKE DRAMAS.

It's a T.V. movie, with much of the cheesiness you might expect, but it was refreshing to see gay characters and themes that didn't revolve around sex or stereotypes. The mystery elements were engaging, and the production values were pretty good, which puts it above most made for T.V. movies, gay or straight. I was won over by the character of Strachey, a man committed to his partner, even when faced with a naked hunk glistening after a moonlight swim. So, yes, it's a "gay" movie, complete with a juicy toosh shot, and capped with the obligatory message of acceptance, but still better than I expected.
