A man called Hawk stars the great and multi-talented Avery Brooks (Captain Sisko from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine). While originally a scene-stealing character of the show Spencer for Hire, when Spencer was canceled, this show was developed. Hawk (the sole star) is a strong, socially conscious, black man who defends and helps others in need. Think Kojack, Baretta, and A-team all rolled into one powerful black man. That is the first thing that sets this series apart from others. The second thing is the acting. This man grabs you and doesn't let go until the last scene. Buy the DVD. This show has heart. At first glance, Hawk is someone you'd be afraid to meet on a dark, lonely night. After watching, he's the man you hope you'll meet. This show was great. Years ahead of its time. If it had been in production today chances are it would remain on for several years.
