Description:
In wealthy Palm Beach, ‘The Beautiful People’ flaunt bodies that are hot, hard and sexy…except for the ones that are found cold, stiff and murdered. For homicide detectives Sgt. Rita Lee Lance (Mitzi Kapture) and Sgt. Chris Lorenzo (Rob Estes), these crimes of passion – known as ‘Silk Stalkings’ – lead the partners into the dark side of high society. But will their own growing sexual tension sweep them towards the most explosive seduction of all? Charlie Brill and Mitzi McCall co-star in this top-rated fourth season of the notorious late night crime series created by Stephen J. Cannell (PROFIT, THE COMMISH, THE GREATEST AMERICAN HERO) and featuring such guest stars as Poppy Montgomery, Casper Van Dien, Sarah Buxton, James Darren, Emma Caulfield, Joe Cortese, Gilbert Gottfried, Constance Towers and more
Amazon.com:
The fourth season of Silk Stalkings, Stephen J. Cannell's sexy B-grade cable series, begins with Sergeant Chris Lorenzo (Rob Estes) still recovering from his injuries at the end of season 3, though an attractive surgeon, Jillian Duprix (Nancy Valen, replaced in-season by Suanne Braun), helps ease his pain. Sergeant Rita Lance (Mitzi Kapture) can't wait to get her partner back, but his return nearly costs them both dearly and leads to Lorenzo's resignation from the Palm Beach police force. As usual, the Palm Beach homicide detectives hunt down their quota of sexual predators and other sordid offenders while running into dead ends with their personal relationships. Rita dates a former cop turned writer (Eric Pierpoint) with alcohol and financial problems. Chris struggles to understand why Jillian would bother to date an ordinary cop, then has to make a momentous decision when she wants him to move to Boston with her. When he hesitates, she knows that it's not just the job he doesn't want to leave behind. Yes, we knew it was coming--that crucial development that all flirtatious TV-police partners go through when the show needs a boost (but usually ends up jumping the shark). And even if we don't quite get there, the groundwork is laid for the events of the fifth season, which would end up being the last for both Kapture and Estes. Also starring real-life husband-and-wife comedy team Charlie Brill and Mitzi McCall as Captain Lipschitz and his wife, David Ciminello as Rita's foster brother, Gilbert Gottfried and Casper Van Dien as suspicious types, Constance Towers as the sister of an elder victim, and Kellie Overbey Shane as a trainee who accuses Chris of sexual harassment. --David Horiuchi

Rating:  - Scenic specialty
Having been made in the late 80's, early 90's, it's surprising how up to date the plots and actions are. No cell phones but everything else A-ok.
Rating: - Better than I even remember
One more t.v. series I came across while looking on Amazon that I added to my Wish List and received as a birthday present. I was skeptical of my taste in the early 90s vs. today. I remember thinking it was a kind of a newer, maybe shallower Miami Vice-style, that was pretty risqué for regular cable t.v. I used to watch it sporadically on USA late at night, but probably never saw two episodes in a row.
My fiancée and I watched the first episode with my parents. None of us really got into it and I felt a little disappointed. A little while later (days? a week?) my fiancée and I were looking for something to watch that wasn't too long, so we gave it another whirl. After the second episode we were hooked and preceded to watch a bunch, one after another. We cruised through the First Season way too fast that I even found myself watching the Extras! To make a long story short, we're about half way through the Fifth Season now and dread the inevitable, that this is the last season out on DVD.
Yes, there is 90s cheese, florescent outfits that we can't believe we thought were cool, some questionable hairdos, swimsuits, only large-chested women always seemingly getting out of a pool at the crime scene wearing a thong bikini, every episode opens with a sex scene that ends in someone's death, and the list goes on and on. However, we are totally hooked and love every episode and season! It's part romantic comedy, part t.v. detective series drama. I loved Miami Vice, but ... Read More
Rating: - THe best!
This is the best silk season ever!! Except for them killing off the greatest guy ever! It has lots of passion and chemistry.
Rating: - Great
My hubby is a groupie for this series, so he is thrilled with it. Good quality, basic packaging, but full of everything he wanted.
Rating:  - Not my favorite season, obviously others disagree!
I thought this season's episodes "mysteries" weren't as funny or out-there as the earlier seasons, and the guest stars, writers and directors not up to snuff (save Gordon Dawson, who wrote the best ep. ever, "Soul Kiss" and shows up for one good ep. this season, "Red Flag"). With John Byner gone and Donnie "Dogs" Dibarto's appearances way down, the show overrelies on "relationship" story arcs for the two cops that aren't all that compelling (as oft noted, the relationship between the two cops was always the best part of the show, not the various dullards they end up dating). It's as if this season they were trying to make the show more "normal," with less outrageous plots, the wild color schemes toned down a bit, etc.
Still, Estes and Kapture's chemistry was excellent, Captain Lipschitz is still around, and if you like the show, you'll find the season acceptable. I still think the order of quality is season two, then season three, then season one, followed by five, which starts off well, but then gets sidetracked when the actors quit and they too-quickly had to sew up a romance-between-the-cops story arcs that there should have been more time to explore. To me, season 4 is the weakest Estes/Kapture season, which is still better than the seasons that followed with other cops.
