Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director David E. Peckinpah was nephew to legendary western director Sam Peckinpah, which makes this TV thriller about a mom solving crimes feel like a fascinating family outlier.
This is peak 1990s 'woman in jeopardy' television—before Law & Order dominated, these standalone TV thrillers ruled weekend cable with their own deliciously disposable formula.
