So I watched the pilot episode. I had seen the 1968 movie a little while before.
Richard Widmark is an intense lead for a tv series. It felt more like a feature film at times--with Murray Hamilton as his superior officer (not the typical "you are going too far Madigan!" kind of character-instead he is rather diplomatic and understanding).
Ronny Cox is his new partner with Jimmy Carter hair. A quasi-liberal cop--he is not over the top liberal, but more realistic. Sincere, but realizes he and Madigan clash in approaches. The end has a compromise between their two outlooks.
The remaining episodes have Madigan in Europe. I'd like to know what happened that sparked the radical location change.
