It had promise after the popularity of "Red Dawn" and "Rambo 2" but it fell flat due to the lack of exploding arrows and bazookas. Plus Russia was falling apart so they were no the big bad boogeyman anymore. Funny how things have a way of coming full circle.

"Wiseguy" came out around the same time. Really liked that show. Plus given what was going on in New York around that time it was a timely show.
