Synopsis

Hunter (1988), Season 5 is up to watch online on iFILM — 22 episodes of the NBC police drama, with Rick Hunter and Dee Dee McCall still anchoring LAPD homicide.

The cases reach wider this year. A two-part "Dead on Target" pulls Hunter back into his past, where a Vietnam buddy's death exposes a betrayal buried for twenty years. The three-part "City Under Siege" drops the partners into a suburb tearing itself apart over vigilante justice. McCall, meanwhile, nearly loses her badge: accused of gunning down an innocent man in a shootout, she has to clear her own name. The finale, "Return of White Cloud," winds through the black market in Native American artifacts.

By its fifth year, Frank Lupo's series runs its machinery on instinct — solid plots, easy partner chemistry, no overreaching. It suits anyone who likes a retro procedural without the modern gloom. Stream Hunter Season 5 online on iFILM.
