Jim Ellison
(The Sentinel)
Context
The Sentinel was a 1996-99 TV series. These rough notes were taken while it was still airing. So they include little explanations (since the show was still current) and are waaay less detailed than our current work.
Though it held for four seasons, for years there was little on the Internet about it. But as of writing this section (2019), there’s now multiple articles and wiki entries and whatnot about it. Making these here stats less cryptic.
Though this profile is barebones we’re keeping it. Every TV series, even obscure ones like The Sentinel, are somebody’s favourite.
