Start it on Amazon Prime Video whenever you need something guaranteed to land.

Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, Danger Man is worth clearing space for. The set pieces are impressive, but it is the story underneath them that gives Danger Man its staying power. Danger Man is a British television series which was broadcast between 1960 and 1962, and again between 1964 and 1968. The series featured Patrick McGoohan as secret agent John Drake. Ralph Smart created the programme and wrote many of the scripts. Patrick McGoohan leads a cast that earns every set piece rather than just filling it. 4 seasons (1960–1968) gave the story room most shows never get. The action sequences are expensive-looking without drawing attention to their own budget — they serve the story rather than interrupting it. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

Action fans who want craft and story alongside the spectacle will find exactly that in Danger Man. Fans of S.W.A.T. Will recognise the sensibility here immediately. A contained run means every episode is doing real work. Patrick McGoohan is the obvious draw, but the supporting cast gives the action the context it needs to land. The action holds up because the character work underneath it never lets up.

Danger Man wrapped up in 1968, created by Ralph Smart — and 4 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
