Section 7 is a 1972 New Zealand television series focused on the Probation Service office. It starred Ewen Solon, Ian Mune and Glynis McNicoll.[1][2]
The Press said of the first episode "It was Interesting more than gripping, for the story was not a strong one. But as a scene-setter. it was a success, and one could not reasonably expect much depth to it in its first week."[3] They later noted of the episodes "There have been a couple of good ones, but by and large "Section 7" has been a very limited success."[4] After the final episode The Press said "Much of the writing for "Section 7" was not good enough to carry out the design, so that sometimes the sub-plots were too numerous, the plays too jerky."[5]
