Carl Kolchak is a reporter for a Chicago newspaper. Through more accident than design he ends up investigating homicides, many of which involve supernatural forces. Ultimately, rather than reporting on the crimes, he solves them.
I was intrigued by this series as it looked like decent whodunnit-type thriller-drama. However, the supernatural element undermines any thoughts of this being a classical whodunnit. Rather than painstakingly interviewing suspects and piecing together the puzzle, the average episode involves Kolchak chasing after all manner of ghouls in fairly linear fashion. Not what I enjoy.
