For Joe Dancer; the best of the bunch

All the Joe Dancer TV movies feature the titular rather dated detective. Some have overly serious characters (The Big Black Pill), others have goofy characters (The Monkey Mission) and even one with solid characters (Murder 1, Dancer O). The first and third plots are good, while the second film is merely fair. So with the outdated TV movie detective, characters and plots taken into account, each film gets incrementally better over all. That makes this one; Murder 1, Dancer O [aka: The Big Trade] the best of the bunch.
