Delvecchio is a tough, independent, big-city LAPD police detective fighting crime in Los Angeles. Sgt. Dominick Delvecchio (played by Taxi and Numbers star Judd Hirsch) and his partner Sgt. Paul Shonski (Hills Street Blues star Charles Haid) are assigned cases that range from narcotics investigations to murders to auto thefts. His boss, and the man who assigns most of his cases, is Lt. Macavan (Michael Conrad, also of Hill Street Blues). Also seen regularly is Delvecchio's father, Tomaso (Mario Gallo), an Old World type who runs a small barbershop and is constantly perplexed about why his stubborn, determined son has become a cop. Hirsch plays Delvecchio as an honest LAPD cop of high integrity who works out of the Washington Heights division. He spends much of his free time studying for the bar exam, which he continuously fails. The critically acclaimed series lasted through one two hour TV movie pilot and twenty regular one hour episodes.moreless
I thought that I can only get on tilt when playing poker. This movie has the same effect...oddly. This is definitely a pleasant surprise. I will surely look forward to more of Delvecchio from now. It just shows you that on any given day, you can discover something refreshing and new. Lucky moi.
