Synopsis
McCloud (1970) — watch online on iFILM — is the NBC crime series that ran for seven seasons alongside Columbo as part of the rotating Mystery Movie block.
Deputy Marshal Sam McCloud (Dennis Weaver) is from Taos, New Mexico. The NYPD gets him as a liaison, and chief of detectives Clifford (J.D. Cannon) never quite knows what to do with a man who rides a horse through Central Park and operates on instincts formed on the open range. McCloud keeps solving cases Clifford's precinct had given up on, which makes him impossible to send home.
Weaver played it completely straight — no winking at the fish-out-of-water premise — and that's what kept the show running until 1977. The cowboy-cop format sounds like a gag, but the series treated it as a proper procedural. Stream every season of McCloud online on iFILM.
