As with any series, especially as long running a series as the original "Mission", there are some very good and some not so good episodes in this collection. I agree with some of the other reviewers in saying that I found the casting to be a little strange, but not all that bad. For one thing, in this series one of the cast has her character killed off, something that never happened in the original series. I found a couple of the episodes actually more entertaining than some of the originals. If you have never seen the original Mission Impossible (and I am not talking about the over-done movies) you will have no problem with this series. If you are familiar with the original team then you cannot help but make comparisons. Still, there is enough of the old "Mission Impossible" flavor to make this a welcome addition to any collection.
