Synopsis

Night Man is an American action/adventure/sci-fi series that aired in syndication from September 15, 1997 to May 17, 1999. The series is loosely based on a comic book published by Malibu Comics and was created by Steve Englehart and developed for television by Glen A. Larson. It stars Matt McColm as the title character, a superhero whose real name was Johnny Domino, a saxophonist. Englehart would write three episodes of the series. Night Man is also one of the few series to cross over with characters from Larson's previous series: in the episode "Manimal", Johnny allies with Professor Jonathan Chase, the star of the short-lived 1980s' series Manimal.

Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
Mischa Redfern I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
Cissy Évelyne It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
freirejeanpierre Not the best TV Super hero show of the universe. The visual effects are cheesy and the acting really bad. Season 2 is better and it's a good idea to have a cross-over between Maniman and Night-Man. It deserves a decent release on DVD or Blu-ray maybe. The reason why the show failed for me is the lack of action. The character of Night-man is not well known across the world like many other of Marvel Comics. Anyway, the show stay pretty good. In the way Superboy or Swamp Thing were produced, Night-Man is the same : funny with endearing characters. A Glen Larson type of production. Why not in a complete series release ? Who knows, it's up to the audience of the show !
ncsumath83 I will not hold the producers of this series accountable for the drastic changes made to the character of The Night Man. In the comic books all he has is the one power, and though it is a really cool power, it is not extremely valuable on its own. The plot line of a first season episode actually revolves around this somewhat humbling fact. Because of this, The Night Man is not what you might call "made for TV", so I think some changes had to be made so that his character would look good in a Fantasy/SciFi/action genre. On a syndicated budget, this is a very tall order, yielding the cheesy results that have been mentioned in other posts. As far as the acting, it may not have been award-winning, but neither was it career-killing, and the music was excellent, thanks to Marc Bonilla. The writers did do a poor job with continuity, and some of the dialog seems a bit forced, but that just makes it even cheesier and thus much more enjoyable if you are in the mood for it. Syndicated TV series have, for a long time, been providing cheap thrills and guilty pleasures. At this, The Night Man series excels, making it a show well worth watching.
kgcarlson26 I have found a reason to live, and his name is "Night Man".It is because I believe in fate. It is because I believe the saviour of the world will come with an ability to pick up on "the frequency of evil".As well as by being a sexy saxophone player with a huge, glowing red eye that can shoot fricking laser beams at dudes.Oh, yeah - and he can fly, and he drives one of those crazy Chrysler cars that looks like an old roadster.I can't believe it took me 8 years to discover this!Happy viewing to you!!!
lotsafun I always enjoyed this show. The Malibu comic that this was based on was fantastic. When they turned it into a syndicated TV show it looked quite a bit cheesier in flesh and blood than on the printed page, but I still really enjoyed it. The show did add some gadgets to the character that he didn't use in the original comic. Steve Englehart created the character of Night Man and he was okay with those changes. He wrote for the show and didn't think that the high tech gadgets got in the way of the heart and soul of the character. I agree. This was a fun show. Rumor has it that it would have gone another season if Marvel hadn't bought Malibu comics and then gone bankrupt. That's too bad. I always enjoyed Night Man. It was good fun!
