McMillan & Wife has quietly become one of the more dependable crime dramas currently available in the US on Amazon Prime Video. 6 seasons in, and the quality has not slipped. With 26 viewer ratings on TMDB, this is not a title flying under the radar. Rock Hudson anchors it, but the writing does the real work. Put it on tonight on Amazon Prime Video and see for yourself.

McMillan & Wife is not trying to be everything to everyone, and that focus is exactly what makes it work. McMillan & Wife treats its mystery as a means, not an end in itself. McMillan & Wife is a lighthearted American police procedural that aired on NBC from September 17, 1971 to April 24, 1977. Starring Rock Hudson and Susan Saint James in the title roles, the series premiered in 90-minute episodes as part of the wheel series NBC Mystery Movie, in rotation with Columbo and McCloud. Initially airing on Wednesday night, the original line-up was shifted to Sundays in the second season, where it aired for the rest of its run. Rock Hudson and John Schuck lead a cast that gives the tension real weight. 6 seasons (1971–1977) gave the story room most shows never get. McMillan & Wife is at its best in the quiet scenes between the plot beats, where the character work actually happens. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

If you cannot walk away from a good mystery, McMillan & Wife will keep you hooked. Viewers who responded to Grace will find a lot to like here too. 6 seasons is a lot, but the quality holds all the way through. Rock Hudson's performance is the kind that shows up on best-of lists years later. If you have been looking for something to fill the gap left by a recently finished story, this is a reliable answer.
