[edit] Production and Filming
During the first season, the series was shot in Barcelona, Cataluña, Spain. Before the second season, the series had to switch locations due to budget constraints caused by the 1992 Summer Olympics. The second and third seasons were shot in Los Angeles, California.
Actor Ramy Zada, who played the lead role of Judge Nicholas Marshall during the first season, was said to be unavailable for the second season due to the location change, and Bruce Abbott was chosen as his replacement. The location was also the main reason behind the casting of some Spanish actors like Begoña Plaza in lead roles.
[edit] Plot Synopsis
Nicholas Marshall, a former police officer and district attorney, is a judge that loses his faith in the legal system after his wife and daughter are murdered in a car bombing intended for him. After the killer walks out due to a technicality, Marshall becomes a vigilante by night dedicated to bringing "justice" to criminals that walk away due to technicalities.
To help him achieve his goal, Marshall uses a team of specialists referred to as "The Night Watchmen". The team is comprised of some people that were prosecuted for lower-level offenses that help him with some tasks. This can be seen as some sort of community service for their offenses. The members of the watchmen were "Moon" Willis (Dick O'Neill), who used to be a con man; "Gibs" (Clayton Prince), a former street kid; and a female companion that changed several times during the three seasons.
