Logan's Run (1977–1978)
8/10
A good ride
9 March 2021
I give this one season series an 8, because it lost points for the car crash of a pilot. Once the main characters escape the city, it turns into a good period sci fi adventure series. There is a bit of an arc to the series, but it is primarily episodic. That pilot though, was quite a mess; with a change to the origional movies story but no clear explanations. If you watch the series expecting a continuation of the story from the movie/novel, then you will be rightly confused. Whereas the origional story had the two main characters escaping The Domed City, finding the outside world and returnning to liberate the other Dome City dwellers, this story has them finding a solar powered car and hitting the road. One thing that I found entertainning, was the fact that the clothing from The Domed City was indestructable. The main characters escaped with one outfit each, which then went through absolute wardrobe hell, and always remained like new. If we can only rediscover this lost 1970s fashion technology, the world could be saved. Or not. Skip to the part where they find the car, and all will be smooth roads after that. The supporting cast did a great job as well, and there is no shortage of familiar faces from the period. Storys are consistently entertainning, with few weak stretches. One episode is a version of The Greatest Game - which is an often used classic. Enjoy.
