The Greatest British Export Since The Beatles
This is the finest show ever exported from Britain. The plots not only action packed but they had a very British sense of humor. This can almost be seen as a British version of Batman with all the outlandish plots as well as the wild villains that were featured on each episode.The only negative thing I have to say about it is about the final season. Linda Thorson is okay as Tara, but during her run on the show as Steed's partner, she pretty much played the young damsel in distress, unlike Emma who would probably beat the living daylights out of anyone who was threatening her. However, towards the end she was growing into the role and it would have been interesting to see how they would have let her evolve if the show had returned the next season.
This show is a treasure and its too bad that A&E doesn't show it anymore, but at least it is being shown on BBC America.
