Baywatch Nights

Set in the fictional Crystal Bay, "Baywatch Nights" spun off from the popular "Baywatch" series, following the detectives of the Baywatch organization as they tackle a variety of criminal investigations. While initially focused on more grounded crime stories, the series later incorporated supernatural and science-fiction elements, introducing a mysterious benefactor and more fantastical cases. The team, led by Mitch Buchannon, dealt with everything from jewel thieves to paranormal phenomena.
