Shield of Honor has strong writing for season 2. In fact season takes a leap forward and the writing is much better than season 1. Shield of Honor has a deep cover police opening. There is some great casting of many known 70's actors, which create the perfect detective genre. After an undercover agent is set up there is another set up framing officer Stone. The script is right out of a Mike Hammer or Rockford files episode. Keller has to get on the case and save his partner. What works so well is a good man went down and the episode has a plot twists of who ratted the cop out. The viewer experience one turn to the next, as Keller has to face smart and harden criminals. Keller's toughest case! Well written, casted, directed, and acted. Worth watching. 8 stars.

Mob Hit
Jimmy_the_Gent422 June 2022
A mob witness is killed and Stone thinks there was a leak in the department.
A very good episode, interesting mystery about who (if anyone) leaked the information in the police. Many familiar faces in this one. Mariette Hartley plays a female officer, Steve went through the academy with her and they once dated. Robert Foxworth (the same year he did a great TV movie The Devil's Daughter) is the driver of the mob hitman. John Kerr (Tea And Sympathy) is back in his occasional role as DA O'Brien. Ayn Ruymen plays Hartley sister, she often played sweet young girls and teenage runaways in TV series. Her debut was in the cult Paul Bartel film Private Parts (1972).
