YMMV / Nash Bridges

• Awesome Music: "I Got a Friend in You" by Gigi Worth, serving as the intro and ending theme for a bit.
• Complete Monster:
  • Frankie Dwyer is Nash Bridges's smug, greedy arch-nemesis. Debuting in "Moving Target", Dwyer organizes a hit on mob boss Vic Walsh, hoping to start a Mob War and gain control over San Francisco's criminal outfit. Turning to drug dealing afterwards, once his attempt to kill Nash's daughter Cassidy leaves him permanently crippled, Dwyer later becomes a porno director to cover up his worst crime: Importing young Vietnamese women, whom Dwyer sells as sex slaves to paying customers, with many women found inside his warehouse.
  • "Zodiac": The Zodiac Killer himself is responsible for over 19 murders throughout his lifetime. With his legacy influencing Gary Graham to kill three people in an attempt to surpass him, the Zodiac Killer, upon Graham's death, calls Nash to taunt him about how his identity shall remain a secret.
  • "Patriots": Patrick McQuiston is an IRA terrorist infamous for bombing a Londonderry supermarket, which resulted in over 16 deaths, including Conner McMillan's mother. Released from jail following a peace talk between the IRA and the British government, Patrick heads for San Francisco to kill Archbishop Windicott with a Car Bomb, while having his men try to kill Kerry and Conner in the meantime.
  • "Hot Prowler": The Prowler, Ricky Allan Klinsman, is a sadist who films himself breaking into women's homes in order to psychologically torment them, leaving them crying and broken as he uploads his crimes to the internet. Ricky later films his murder of Inspector Michelle Chan in order to get Nash to arrest him, hoping to gain book deals and fans from his crimes.
• Retroactive Recognition: Greg Sestero of The Room fame was on an episode.
• Special Effects Failure: In the Season 1 episode, "Javelin Catcher", the special effects used in the armored truck explosion feel cartoon-like and aren't realistic enough to qualify as a real explosion.
• Spiritual Successor: It's Miami Vice in the '90s and on the other side of the country. Two episodes even had Phillip Michael Thomas as a guest star.
