You’ll want to smack every damn one of them for throwing the concept of feminism back about half a century.

It’s best if you don’t think about this cheeky English crime series as falling into the mystery genre — it’s more a comedy, of the gently satiric kind.

This is one of the most astonishing reimaginings of an old TV show ever to grace our screens

I’d say this was all fake… but it’s too boring to be invented.

A whole new kind of eye-opener: it’s feminist like the show invented the concept of standing up for a woman as *human*: smart, skilled, flawed…

Oh, man, do I remember watching reruns of *That Girl* as a kid and thinking, Wow, she works in Manhattan! She has her own apartment! I wanna be That Girl when I grow up!

It might be the best show that ever got cancelled before it had finished what it had come to do, a science fiction drama that’s smart, gritty, and — the toughest thing for TV SF to accomplish — original.

Remarkable only for how stolidly unremarkable it is, as if it can’t be bothered to be exciting and is content to be merely competent.

Geek nirvana doesn’t come any sweeter or weirder than this mad amalgam of toy abuse and pop-culture spoofing…
