Harry O is a very pensive, probing detective series. In this episode the actors and actresses were very memorable. Linda Evans was hauntingly beautiful, yet still tethered to her demanding oblivious father. Barry Sullivan architecturally was a genius but as a human being was grossly stunted. It was this insufferable and insensitive attitude toward society that put him at the top of the list of the one people would most like to erase from humanity. Still the motive for this intended murder remains shrouded until towards the end. It explored the complexities of psychological relationships and was unafraid to tackle issues of co-dependence,consuming ambition and the tenuous line between creativity and obsession. Very rich in character development and overall openness.

Memorable Episode.

Warning: Spoilers
Only three episodes into the series following the two PILOTS and this one is a winner all round. The music is perfect, the episodes on the WB Archive collection are sharp and clear, the best I have ever seen the series look. Barry Sullivan is exceptional as the cantankerous architectural genius who doesn't have time for the things he considers trivial in life , including his daughter! Watch for a humorous scene where he asks Harry to make him lunch. Linda Evans is gorgeous and displays a wide range of emotions, ditto for Anne Archer whose talent shines through. A nice turn by Richard Kelton and the location work is pleasing to the eye, especially Sullivan's beach house. Linda Dangcil appears uncredited as a tough-as-nails bar worker from whom Harry seeks information. In all a fine entry so early in the run of a truly entertaining series.
