Ende der 70er Jahre sieht das britische Innenministerium keine andere Wahl: Angesichts der Welle von Gewalt, Terrorismus und Schwerverbrechen will man eine neue Task-Force gründen, die weitestgehend an bestehenden Gesetzen vorbei operieren darf. Das Ergebnis: die von Ex-MI5-Mann Cowley angeführte neue Spezialeinheit 'Criminal Intelligence 5', zu der auch die Agenten 4.5 und 3.7 gehören, Ex-Söldner Bodie (Lewis Collins) und der ehemalige Polizist Doyle (Martin Shaw). Gemeinsam nehmen sie den Kampf gegen das Verbrechen auf... (Koch Media)

Die Profis (1977)
The scripts of the individual episodes copy a few unchanging patterns, so they often repeat, the plots are naive and shallow, the investigations are rushed, and many situations are simply resolved by the action of both protagonists entering the scene. The antagonists of the professionals are nobodies and overall it is an average consumer product of its time. On the other hand, I have no reason to give it less than three stars, because there are still the very likable characters of the two tough detectives and their paternal boss. Even after all these years, it is decent genre entertainment, which may not be as good as one would expect from a nostalgic-influenced review on FilmBooster, but it is decent enough to occasionally return to an episode. Initially, I also gave it a higher rating, but the current series MI5, which I am watching, made me reconsider the quality of both series and the newer one is much more sophisticated, more believable, and offers a comprehensive view of the work of secret services. Overall impression: 60%.
