The Six Million Dollar Man arrived without much fanfare and built its audience the hard way — through word of mouth. The world-building is meticulous, but it is the characters who carry The Six Million Dollar Man through its more ambitious moments. Follow the adventures of Steve Austin, cybernetically enhanced astronaut turned secret agent, employed by the OSI, under the command of Oscar Goldman and supervised by the scientist who created his cybernetics, Rudy Wells. Steve uses the superior strength and speed provided by his bionic arm and legs, and the enhanced vision provided by his artificial eye, to fight enemy agents, aliens, mad scientists, and a wide variety of other villains. The human element stays intact thanks to Lee Majors and Martin E. Brooks, who anchor every scene. 5 seasons (1974–1978) gave the story room most shows never get. The world-building is meticulous enough to sustain multiple rewatches, with details early on that only make sense later. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

For late-night viewing or a proper weekend binge, The Six Million Dollar Man fits the bill. Viewers who responded to Jake 2.0 will find a lot to like here too. Short enough to finish in a weekend, substantial enough to feel satisfying. Watch for Lee Majors in particular — the performance elevates the material. Satisfying on multiple levels.

The Six Million Dollar Man wrapped up in 1978, created by Kenneth Johnson and Martin Caidin — and 5 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
