Re: What is media that has exceeded your expections?

[(Anonymous)]

I've been watching episodes of a 1960s series called 'The Champions' on and off for a while. It's about a trio of United Nations agents/spies who got psychic powers when they crash-landed in Shangri-La on a mission (yeah, I know). It's surprisingly good in places, if very 60s.

There was one episode in particular that genuinely surprised me (aside from featuring a young Donald Sutherland). It had Sharon, the one female member of the trio, go undercover on her own and get into trouble, and the two boys go in after her to help her out. I was kind of expecting the plot to devolve a bit into your standard 'save the girl' formula, despite Sharon being generally badass, but it actually didn't. She was still operating undercover, if more intensively than expected, she was only pretending to be brainwashed, they almost blew her cover, they got into trouble and spent pretty much the whole episode running around the hotel trying to avoid being skewered by brainwashed delegates, and she actually successfully found and stopped the root operation and broke the brainwashing in time for the boys not to be stabbed to death upstairs.

The trio in general seem to take turns being the one in peril, and while there are some 60s allocations of violence, Sharon genuinely seems to be treated as fully equal in usefulness, skill-set and knowledge. Which I was not expecting in a 60s spy show, to be honest.

I am glad you found a new show to enjoy. I'll have to suggest to my old roommate, she loves older TV shows (especially the spy/detective kind).
