Zorro is currently streaming in the US on Disney Plus, and it earns its set pieces rather than just delivering them. 2 seasons means there is plenty to get through without ever feeling padded. An 8/10 rating says what the writing already makes obvious: this one works. Guy Williams is the obvious draw, but the supporting cast gives the action its context. There is no real reason to keep putting it off — it is right there on Disney Plus.

Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, Zorro is worth clearing space for. The choreography in Zorro serves the story instead of interrupting it. Diego de la Vega, the son of a wealthy landowner, returns from his studies in Spain and discovers that Los Angeles is under the command of Capitan Monastario, a cruel man who relishes in the misuse of his power for personal gain. Knowing that he cannot hope to single-handedly defeat Monastario and his troops, Diego resorts to subterfuge. He adopts the secret identity of Zorro, a sinister figure dressed in black, and rides to fight Monastario's injustice. Guy Williams and Gene Sheldon lead a cast that keeps the chaos grounded in who's actually at stake. 2 seasons (1957–1959) 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. The consistency throughout is what elevates it — not every moment is the best, but none of them are a reason to stop watching.

The genre has a long history of front-loading its best moments — Zorro is not one of those. If you have already watched The Wild Wild West, Zorro is a natural next step. The complete run is available and best experienced without too much prior knowledge of where it goes. Guy Williams brings a physicality to the role that elevates every set piece. Action that earns its sequences rather than just delivering them.

Zorro wrapped up in 1959 — and 2 seasons are available to watch from start to finish. Find exactly where it's streaming below, and TV Butler Pro makes it effortless to track your progress as you go.
