Danger Man (1960–1961)
9/10
Timelessly Cool.
30 August 2016
I just found this program and am amazed how great it is. It is smarter and far better than most of the television programming that has ever aired.One reviewer called it disturbingly addictive, and I would agree due to the unique story lines and character. Brisk, with smart action and great set points that whisk the viewer along with a fluid pacing and smart dialogue. Don't look for one liners or clichéd dialogue that manipulates the viewer for an emphatic effect. We like the main character because he is likable without effort , this is due to Patrick Mcgoohans talent. I am amazed that this show is not one that is spoken of when great television is mentioned, because it is so extremely cool. After the first episode,you'll want to binge watch, but don't, savor the flavor and stretch this viewing experience out, you'll be glad you did. As the series moves on, it just keeps getting better and the viewer is treated to many groundbreaking moments in television with camera styles, scripting, story lines and action. After viewing this, I can see where many filmmakers "sampled" some of the more iconic moments of the program and images. Finding this lost treasure was a real treat.
