Miles-10 Fernando Lamas is wooden, the opening is badly done soft-core porn, nobody is exciting in his or her role. I do not know exactly why I watched fifteen minutes of this tripe, but suddenly, a quarter of the way into the first episode, Bobby Sixkiller (Branscombe Richmond) appears and steals the entire show. If I ever watch again, it will only be to watch him.Everybody talks too much on this show and says absolutely nothing, but Bobby enlivens the show with flair and chutzpah. Just the energy the show lacks up to the moment he turns around in his swivel chair. He is the only actor really enjoying himself, and so I began enjoying myself, too.

John Isaksson Renegade is one of the great precursors to the golden age of television that we experience today. The tragic story about Reno Raines and his friends is a dark story about the inner darkness of man, but also shows the capacity for goodness humanity has. Much of the credit goes to Lorenzo Lamas in the lead role. He's a tour de force as Reno Raines and makes the audience emphasize with a character many great actors would fail to portray. The series isn't without flaws though. Sometimes the themes lack the subtlety you could wish for and the themes often get's an almost preachy vibe. This make's my score of the show a couple of notches lower, but make no mistake. This is an excellent show that everyone should watch and enjoy. In summary....WATCH THIS SHOW"He was a cop, and good at his job. But then he committed the ultimate sin and testified against other cops - gone bad. Cops who tried to kill him, but got the woman he loved instead. Framed for murder, now he prowls the badlands. An outlaw hunting outlaws, a bounty hunter - a RENEGADE!"

Cinema_Lover I remember when Renegade first came out back in 1992, the opening narration went something like this, "He was cop and pretty good at his job. But then he committed the ultimate sin and testified against other cops gone bad. Framed for murder, they got the woman he loved. Now he's on the run, a bounty hunter, a RENEGADE". F*ck man, back in 1992 I had a hard time keeping a straight face listening to something as stupid as that. This show was created by Stephen J. Cannell, who usually creates the best action/comedy/police shows around. Cannell is an Emmy award winning writer that has written many spectacular cop shows like The Rockford Files, Wiseguy, and The Commish. Cannell has also created some wildly imaginative TV shows like The Greatest American Hero and The A-Team. But Renegade was a Cannell miss in my opinion. The plot was basically just a retread of The A-Team. But instead of 4 Vietnam vets on the run from the law for a crime they didn't commit, we get one guy this time in Reno Raines. Reno is framed for a murder he didn't commit and is also on the run from the law and a corrupt cop named Dutch Dixon, played very badly by Stephen J. Cannell. Dixon is a total ham. Reno Raines is constantly on the run, but somehow he still has time to help out every single small town goober he runs into. The problem I had with Renegade is that I couldn't figure out if Steve Cannell was serious or not with this show and it's over the top plots and campy action sequences. With the A-Team, at least we always knew not to take any of that stuff seriously. That show had it's tongue firmly in it's cheek. But Renegade is written and acted in the most DEAD SERIOUS way and it just comes across as totally retarded.Let's say you're a wanted man with a bounty on your head. Are you going to ride around on a big ass Harley Davidson bike, complete with long hair and a black trenchcoat? AND hang around a big long haired Native American with a name like Bobby Sixkiller? Oh yes, I'm sure no one will ever be able to ID you. Yes I know there is a Lone Ranger motif going on here, as there is with all Stephen J. Cannell shows, but this was just way too much. It wasn't subtle, but instead pounded you over the head with a sledgehammer. Reno also used the alias Vince Black ALL THE FREAKING TIME!! This was just totally crazy sh*t. Only a moron that was wanted from the law would act like Reno Raines. Another thing about Dutch Dixon....Mr. Cannell, Col. Decker was a far better antagonist for the A-Team. Hey Cannell, stick to writing better scripts and novels then Renegade. And please for the love of God Steve, don't ever try to act again.

lucky-7 I just wanted to drop a few lines to say that I have watched the Renegade t.v. series for some time now. I have not found one yet that I have not liked.The only thing that I have not liked so far is they all seem to be reruns.I would LOVE it if they would start new ones again.That would be the GREATEST.
