I watched this for the first time and found very good. What
is interesting
is the main character played by Constance Towers. I found her
hard boiled
in the tradition of Marlowe. Hard where it was needed. I
thought that it
showed the kind of hardness a nurse has to have to survive is
the kind of
hardness a protaganist has to have in the hard boiled world.
Of course she
learned to be hard as a prostitute.
Which leads me to another thought. In world of hard boiled
the hero can be
hard boiled without any explaination (though the best stories
do explain).
Heroines who are hard boiled need to be explained ie
ex-prostitute, druggy
or alky.
