Danger Man (1960) (TV)

A quality show, 5 August 2015

Overall, Danger Man is a good series. Most of the episodes are entertaining and interesting, with good acting, action sequences, suspense , and occasionally some interesting location shots. Patrick McGoohan is the glue that holds the whole thing together. While he occasionally annoyed me (usually when playing a drunk), he's a very fine actor. He makes John Drake appropriately tough, smart, and resourceful. The supporting casts McGoohan had to work with are top-notch, featuring actors like Donald Pleasence, Hazel Court, Barbara Shelley, Moira Redmond, Charles Gray, Zena Marshall, and Burt Kwouk. There are a few episodes that are really hurt by the limited runtime, but, on the whole, the writers/directors did a magnificent job. I feel my overall rating of 8/10 is about right. One day soon, I'll tackle the next series. 

My five favorite episodes: - #36 Under the Lake - #27 Bury the Dead - #19 Name, Date and Place - #33 The Hired Assassin - #15 Colonel Rodriguez (with honorable mentions going to #6 The Girl in Pink Pajamas and #5 The Lovers)

And, my five least favorite episodes: - #31 The Trap - #22 The Honeymooners - #38 The Dead Man Walks - #14 The Traitor - #17 Find and Return

8/10
