Vanishing Son (1995)
9/10
An Interesting Short-lived Series
11 May 2022
I remember watching the Vanishing Son movies in 1994 and then this series in early 1995. I was certain at the time that Russell Wong was on his way to superstardom, he was brilliant in this role. When the series abruptly ended, I was frankly shocked. Although Wong seems to have been fairly active to this day, his profile was never as high as it was with Vanishing Son. I managed to tape one episode that featured the great James Hong as a Chinatown Boss. The premise may not have been the most original, but it was quite entertaining at the time, though I suspect it might look terribly dated in 2022. I'm sure some of the episodes or the 1994 movies have popped up on YouTube by now, and I recommend watching them.

Worth noting is that Jan Hammer composed the music for this series, and he did a great job. That was one aspect that kept me interested in watching the series at the time.
