Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
NBC aired this January 1981; the series premiered September '82 with mostly recast roles, including Maud Adams replacing the female lead.
This multi-perspective crime format predates Rashomon-obsessed shows like The Affair by decades — network TV was weirdly experimental once.
