Super Force 1x17 "Sins of the Father (2)"

★★★★★★★★☆☆

Second of three episodes for Richard Lynch as Dr. Lothar Presley, bounty hunter and genius inventor. Really love this character. Again, the Super Force suit only appears at the end. Mostly, it’s Zach Stone working the case like a conventional cop. And it’s a good case, well-written and interesting. Hopefully, this is a sign that the show is taking it up a notch. 8/10

Super Force 1x16 "Sins of the Father (1)"

★★★★★★★★☆☆

Richard Lynch. Good episode. The story has a lot of moving parts. It starts with a violent jailbreak and some convicts going on the run. One of those fugitives is a basically decent guy who got caught up in events beyond his control. His father, whose gambling debts are responsible for his son’s imprisonment, befriends Zach and pleads for his help in capturing his son alive. The problem is, there’s a bounty hunter tracking and killing the fugitives. Lynch is the best thing here. He chews the scenery and it’s great fun. His character gets fun lines and he’s an interesting guy, a bounty hunter who is a scientist using advanced tech to stop the bad guys. The Super Force suit is relegated to the start and the end, and the rest plays like a futuristic cop show with Zach racing against time to locate the prisoners before the bounty hunter can kill them. 8/10

Super Force 1x15 "Water Mania"

★★★★★★☆☆☆☆

Jackie Gayle. Directed by Jerry Lewis. After the last couple of episodes found the entire planet in peril, the show switches to a much more typical cop show storyline. A nightclub owner is being squeezed by thugs for money he owes. That’s it, that’s the episode. The owner is a friend of Zach’s and the enforcer drives a monster truck. That’s really all you need to know. The rest is action. 6/10
