The series was set in Chicago. I fondly remember the episode with a scene at the Adler Planetarium as I’d just visited it on a trip there.

I loved the movie. I was 15 at the time. The one thing that struck me even then was a scene were the bad guy returns home. He goes to the fridge where he keeps blood. As he is pulling the bottle out it clinks with another bottle like if you bonked a glass milk bottle to another in the fridge. There was a banality to that moment.
My biggest disappointment was the in the series were they went to the Seattle Underground. Shortly thereafter our school made a trip to the underground. No lost city scape under the streets. Just interconnected basements.
And If I remember correctly that was part of the weekly Tuesday Movie of the week.

One of my biggest regrets is not asking about the Seattle beneath the surface while I lived there.
