Episode 05 - Season One: A Small and Deadly War (1983)
Once again the topic relies on a few the police force corrupt officers and their dirty business.
The episode opens up with a brave veteran who risks both him and his familys life by going up against a small bunch of detectives whom have a nasty way of killing off people during the "lunch break".
The A-Team gets involved and decides to bring the murderous thugs down by leveling out their gameplay.
I thought the episode started up rather well, more of a crime dominated episode but my problem was that The A-Team dominated almost every scene, through the entire time. It could have been a better laid out plot and story, but it just gets a little too sloppy and the final climax was just a letdown, too cartoonish and random.
The bad guys pose of absolute no threat and their victim only showed up at the beginning and the end, I like it when the gang lets some of their "customers" ride along to help them out, but in this case it was just not to be.
All in all, another mediocre and not that memorable episode and hopefully there will be not too many of these in the near future, but still i cannot complain about being entertained, even though it sometimes gets a little "too much" of the routine job.
Also to be mentioned, Dean Stockwell plays one of the baddies, well more of a bad guy version of Face really, but still thought I should just mention it.
5/10
