The Return of Ironside is a curious piece of the '90s TV movie scene. It carries a weighty nostalgia, bringing back our titular character after decades of service in the San Francisco police force. You feel the tension between his desire for a peaceful retirement and the inescapable pull of his past. The pacing has that slow burn vibe, which is interesting given the action-oriented backdrop.
