Last decade, Image released many episodes of the series in various "best of" sets or single disc releases that have long gone out of print. The content here probably isn't anything new, but this release showcases the series well and, when we can get some in stock, only retails for $29.99.
Additionally, while not pristine, the prints look very good for this ground-breaking crime-drama series. Details below.
Gritty and realistic, Naked City is one of television's best police dramas.
Filmed on the streets of New York City, this ever-popular series puts a human face on crime, going beyond a simplistic portrayal of good vs. evil to delve into the complex personal dramas of the people involved. Filled with swift-moving action, the stories are often violent and tragic, but also contain their share of humor, absurdity and even fairy tale romance.
Paul Burke stars as Detective Adam Flint, the young, handsome detective who manages to hold on to his ideals, and Horace McMahon is his crusty older boss, Lt. Mike Parker. Because of the critically acclaimed series' outstanding reputation, the series attracted many top film and television actors for its guest-starring roles.
