Simon & Simon

Right now you can watch Simon & Simon on streaming — and it holds up to as much attention as you give it. With 8 seasons behind it, the show has had time to find its rhythm and keep it. With 96 viewer ratings on TMDB, this is not a title flying under the radar. Jameson Parker anchors it with a performance that rewards close attention. There is no real reason to keep putting it off.

Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, Simon & Simon is worth clearing space for. Simon & Simon takes its time building the world its characters inhabit, and the patience pays off. A.J. Simon is a polished fellow with a taste for classic cars and tailored suits. Rick Simon is his less refined (but still pleasant) older brother who has a taste for cowboy boots and four-wheel drive pickups. Jameson Parker and Gerald McRaney lead a cast that treats the material with real seriousness. 8 seasons (1981–1989) gave the story room most shows never get. The writing trusts the audience to sit with ambiguity rather than wrapping everything up in a tidy conclusion — it is the approach that separates good drama from great. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

Simon & Simon is what you recommend to people who say they do not really watch much. If you have already watched The Streets of San Francisco, Simon & Simon is a natural next step. 8 seasons is a lot, but the quality holds all the way through. Jameson Parker anchors a cast that never overplays its hand. The kind of drama that stays with you well after the finale.

Simon & Simon wrapped up in 1989, created by Philip DeGuere Jr. — and 8 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
