Joe Friday has nothing on Inspector Giskard. Dry as dust. Just the fax, ma'am. Networking takes on a whole new dimension as the MC takes on a murder/kidnapping case and sees it through to the absolute end. No shortcuts allowed. Humans need to be mollified but justice must be served.

Not gonna lie. I loved it. Very low key - like an old Dragnet episode - but without all the preachy goo.

Giskard (perhaps a nod to Asimov's R. Giskard Reventlov) spins out the tale deftly, keeping me interested in the details of robot-detective work as he interfaces with humans across a wide spectrum of the species.

Kudos to Jim Henderson for making his robots seem more interesting - and more human - than the actual humans.

Highly recommended.
