Title: They Don't make Stuff This Good Anymore...
Review: Wow, I just got this DVD from a friend, I have been waiting for years for this incredibly fun series to come on TV. The New Avengers managed to capture the off-beat spirit of the first series without making a mess of things.Patrick Macnee is back as Steed, I always liked this witty, proper British gentleman spy, portraying the supervisor of two younger spies. Junior spy No. 1, Purdy, is played by skinny Joanna Lumley (nowhere near as good as Diana Rigg's Emma Peel). No. 2 is Gambit, a rougher, more Americanized version of Steed, is played by Gareth Hunt.Even though Purdy and Gambit cannot hold a candle to Steed and Emma, the whole thing seems to work, due to the show's more down-to-Earth and darker storylines. But don't worry, this version of the Avengers does have its wild moments: super-powered enemy agents who can catch bullets, giant rats...You won't see anything like this on TV today; well worth buying.
