Plot
Set against the vibrant backdrop of 1970s San Francisco, "McMillan & Wife" is an engaging blend of crime, wit, and romance. The series follows the life and times of Stewart "Mac" McMillan, a ruggedly handsome former Navy intelligence officer and defense attorney turned Police Commissioner. Mac, a charismatic ladies man in his 40s, navigates the high-profile crime cases of the city, often taking the reins personally.
At his side is his youthful and vivacious wife, Sally. A charming mix of imagination and slight neurosis, Sally is the daughter of a late SFPD detective and a delightfully eccentric socialite. Her keen intuition and penchant for danger often land her in the heart of the city's unique crimes. Sally's playful banter and persistent vigilance when other women set their sights on Mac add a delightful layer of romantic tension to their marital dynamics.
Their crime-solving team is rounded off by Mac's loyal yet slightly bumbling partner, Sgt. Charlie Enright, and their sharp-tongued, alcohol-favoring housekeeper, Mildred. Together, they navigate the treacherous waters of crime and society in San Francisco, their relationships infused with a unique blend of camaraderie, humor, and intrigue.
As the series progresses, life takes a tragic turn when Sally dies in a plane crash, leaving a void in the team. Mildred, too, departs, replaced by her quirky and scatterbrained sister Agatha. Amidst these changes, Sgt. Enright rises through the ranks to lieutenant, reflecting the ebb and flow of life amidst the tumult of crime-solving. "McMillan & Wife" is a captivating journey of crime, love, and resilience, offering a window into the complexities of personal and professional lives intertwined.
