Pros: Great hard-boiled detective stories
Cons: Not high budget filming

Mickey Spillane’s Mike Hammer features Darren McGavin(Kolchak: The Night Stalker) as the two-fisted detective. McGavin appeared in 78 episodes of the syndicated TV series that was produced in 1958 and 1959. The series was criticized at the time for being excessively violent for television standards and practices, and TV Guide actually called it "easily the worst series on TV." This was an unfair and inaccurate statement, and Mickey Spillane’s Mike Hammer actually has a lot to recommend it. The series makes use of some nice location shots of 1950s New York City even though produced on a low budget at Republic Studios.
