Hot Shots

1986 · 1 season

A low-key tabloid crime drama that coasts on banter and case-of-the-week plotting, easy to dip into but rarely gripping.

Genres
Crime, Drama
Overview
Hot Shots was a short-lived Canadian television drama series, which aired on CBS in the United States in 1986, and CTV in Canada in 1987. The series, produced by CTV for the CBS Late Night block of crime drama series, starred Dorothy Parke and Booth Savage as Amanda Reed and Jake West, crime journalists for the tabloid magazine Crime World.
