Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

One of the things that I like most about this series is that the premise - the work and life of the bike cops, who patrol Santa Monica beaches - is somehow new. I mean there are many crime shows, but how many of them deal with bike cops? As far as I know, apart from "Pacific blue", zero. I have seen around 15-20 episodes so far, from different seasons, and in my humble opinion the quality of this series diminishes with each season. In the third season there were changes in the cast, which I think made the show less interesting. The original cast was better than the actors, who replaced them (or maybe I were used to the original actors and had prejudices against their replacements). However, a few people of the original cast didn't left and because of them this programed was still watchable. So, if you like escapist, fun shows and you don't mind mostly impossible and sometimes silly plots (later seasons), it's almost certain that you will enjoy this show. The beautiful scenery, likable actors and actresses, competent cinematography, tame for a crime show violence (especially for today's standards) and sometimes excellent scripts make this show worth checking out. But, I have one suggestion - start with the first season.

"Pacific Blue" was a GREAT show - probably the only show I watched religiously for several years without getting tired of it! Creating a tribute to the cops that aren't in squad cars was a wonderful and novel idea, and the plot was awesome! The best part of this show was that the characters were real. They had real problems and real relationships, outside the force and with each other. The original cast - Rick Rossovich, Marcos Ferraez, Paula Trickey, Jim Davidson, and Darlene Vogel - had an amazing three seasons. Once Victor and Tony left, the show went downhill for me, but hey, revamping a show for new audiences is necessary, and it worked for them, and though I felt less connected once the original cast split in half, it didn't kill the show. Bravo! Great writing, great acting, great cinematography, and great original music score! I really hope this show is released on DVD sometime, especially the first three seasons!

This show was one of the best out there, while on the air. And, I think it still is. The first three seasons, staring Rick Rossovich, Paula Tricky, Darlene Vogle, Marcos Ferraez, and Jim Davidson, was the better of the five years the show was on air. The last two seasons, they kind of did go over board a little bit. Though some of the new characters such as Russ, Jamie, And Bobby, were a good addition, and wouldn't have harmed the show on their own, I think taking out Tony and Victor, and adding Monica was a terrible idea! That's what ruined the show in the end. But, overall, the first three seasons, were the best. Those five cops didn't just work together, they lived together. It seemed almost like a family, something you wouldn't see on most cop shows. They were awesome cops and great at their jobs. They even almost "laughed" at the regular patrols in their cars, because these guys patroling the beach on bikes could go places the cars couldn't, they could catch the bad guys the regular cops couldn't. I would definitely recommend watching this show, especially the first three seasons!!!

I really liked Pacific Blue. At least untill 1998 or somthing. And now the series is shuted down. Is it ever going to start again? anyone knows? I think Paula Trickey did a really good job in Pacific Blue and I really want do see the bike cops on tv again! :>
