Synopsis

Simon & Simon (1981), Season 5 is an American detective series you can watch online on iFILM — 24 episodes following San Diego's mismatched brother PIs, Rick and AJ.

The run opens on a wedding note: Rick falls for a client who suspects her husband, and AJ proposes to Liz, then watches it come apart. After that the cases keep arriving. A trained chimp turns out to be the only witness to a murder. A country singer vanishes. A vengeful ex-con walks free, and someone is running espionage inside a laser research lab. By the finale the brothers head to Boston to untangle their own family tree.

This sits late in the show's CBS run, and the formula still works on contrast — polished AJ in tailored suits, gruff Rick in cowboy boots. Best for fans of easygoing eighties detective TV that never turns grim. Stream Simon & Simon Season 5 online on iFILM.
