Booker takes its time building the world its characters inhabit, and the patience pays off. Booker is an American crime drama series starring Richard Grieco that aired on the Fox Network from September 24, 1989 to May 6, 1990. The series is a spin-off of 21 Jump Street and the second installment of the 21 Jump Street series. The character of Dennis Booker was originally a recurring character on that police drama during its third season. Richard Grieco and Marcia Strassman lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It aired in 1989–1990. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages. The writing trusts the audience to sit with ambiguity rather than wrapping every episode in a tidy conclusion — it is the approach that separates good drama from great.

If you are looking for television that takes its characters seriously and rewards patient viewing, Booker is exactly that. The structure gives the show room to develop relationships over time in a way that episodic television rarely manages, and the writers take full advantage of that space. Fans of T. J. Hooker will find the same commitment to character here, with its own distinct sensibility and setting. Worth starting sooner rather than later — the earlier you get to it, the longer you will have to think about it.
