Vega$: The First Season, Vol. 1 Movie Review
Aaron Spelling's lesser known crime drama. He also worked with the late, great Robert Ulrich in SWAT as well. First things first... Paramount, why, why, why do you release these series' seasons in volumes??!! Oh, money. Okay, now that that's behind us...
This series, if anything, offers a look back to old Vegas. Pure Vegas. Vegas with balls instead of the Disneyworld it came to be. Beyond that, there's a lot of chasing, fighting, attitude, etc. Ulrich is as good as he always is but the actual stories and plot twists just seem to be a bit of a bore at times. Maybe it's just me and the fact that this came out when I was but a glimmer in my parents' eyes, but it just didn't get me. In short, "Vega$" is forgettable at best. I hear that the show was much better and more gritty in the second and third seasons. Time will tell. I haven't even seen a whole season yet BECAUSE Paramount continues to butcher so many seasons of so many old favorites.
