Trivia
In Serbia, the series enjoys a cult status to this day because UN sanctions against Serbia in the early 1990s prevented the airing of major films and TV shows, and the show's setting in tropical abundance highly contrasted the everyday poverty in Serbia at the time. In fact, the show originally aired under the title "Detektiv u raju", meaning "A Detective in Paradise".

Best of the "Crime Time After Prime Time" CBS shows.

"Sweating Bullets" is the best of the five "Crime Time After Prime Time" CBS-TV shows which rotated nightly at 11:30 P.M. A pleasing combination of action, beautiful women and sarcastic wit with Rob Stewart the ruggedly handsome--like a Steven Seagal/ Alec Baldwin--cool dude who can really deliver a line; with his clothes blazing in flames, he crashes through a 2nd floor window and lands in a swimming pool, face to face with a gorgeous young woman and says to her, "and I thought I was HOT!"

"Silk Stalkings" and the other 'Crime Time' shows were also good but not as charming.
