Drake goes to Vienna, 25 September 2014
After a couple of below average episodes (they're good, just not up to the usual Danger Man standard), The Key is a winner. The episode features some plot twists and turns that had me (incorrectly) guessing until the very end. There is a small moment at the beginning in the back of a limo that put me on the wrong track. Nice! I don't know if they meant it that way or not, but they tricked me.
While the plots and stories are good in these Danger Man episodes, it's often the cast that makes or breaks it. In this case, the supporting cast is good. James Bond fans will immediately recognize a very young, dark-haired Charles Gray. I believe he's supposed to be Hungarian, so while his accent may not work, he is especially creepy. Also, I was most impressed with Robert Flemyng. For whatever reason, he reminded me of a poor man's (not as flamboyant) Clifton Webb. He gives an outstanding performance.
This one gets a very strong 8/10.
8/10
