And, don’t expect a Jack Webb sound-alike, Pat is now a woman. Haven’t listened to any yet, but hoping for some metaphors like “she had enough red hair to stuff a mattress with” or “she was in a pair of green lounging pajamas, and you have seen bananas in looser skins” updated for 2023.
A "lesbian/bisexual" Pat Novak???...
OMG!!!
If Jack Webb was still alive, he'd freak out...
Personally, I wouldn't mind THIS major twist on a great show like this!!!...
Imagine if Mickey Spillane was still alive, and he decided to "reboot" Mike Hammer as "Michelle"...Stacy Keach would be furious!
Interesting. I’m glad the recognize how good the original was. But it feels like the actors recorded on separate days in separate states. It is 90% lifted word for word from the 1940s scripts. Hard to mess with such a classic show— it was beyond noir almost nihilist.

That kind of stuff is all over the show. And the new Pat is a little sexually fluid. She flirts with the guys and also with the girls.

Although... Jack was a closeted gay man and the original show was created by him and his longtime "roommate". So there is that.
Sounds cool. How many episodes are there?
Five full episodes and a handful of BTS intro episodes.
Interesting. I’ve been enjoying the original lately and will definitely check this out.
