if i have never see an episode of the original avenger and with blackman and rigg and or thorson and i would have appreciate this series more . while the cast do it best to sustain the action and interest of the script and i be just catch up in compare the episode to the original series . there be an expectation of steed participate more in fight scene and and the continuity seem a though the writer be struggle to keep up with the actor . to be honest and i can not blame them for try to resurrect the fan from the original series and but it just do not work and a evidence by the fact that it last one season . watch steed labor through this series remind me of gen. macarthur when he say and old soldier never die and they just fade away .
