4.0 out of 5 stars Spectrum Is Green...Again.
I've always been a fan of the Andersons' somewhat kitschy but cool puppet Sci-Fi. Most of it is because of the sheer artistry that went into their now-legendary shows. My favorite? Captain Scarlet. The classic from 1966-67 was a neat idea when it was first concieved. Despite limitations, it was a super-cool show.

I've always been a fan of the Andersons' somewhat kitschy but cool puppet Sci-Fi. Most of it is because of the sheer artistry that went into their now-legendary shows. My favorite? Captain Scarlet. The classic from 1966-67 was a neat idea when it was first concieved. Despite limitations, it was a super-cool show.
In 2005, Scarlet was the perfect candidate for a revival, and he got a fantastic one--no strings attatched. CGI animation (which is quite high quality for television) did the good Captain justice, and some of the stories were penned by Phil Ford (who also worked on DOCTOR WHO). Due to expense and the material not being suitable for the youngest set (it is quite violent!), there were only two series made. The story is quite unresolved at the end. Still-- NCS breathes new life into a classic, and Scarlet translates amazingly well for a modern audience. S.I.G!

This is the complete season 1 and 2 of Gerry Anderson's New Captain Scarlet. Well done Gerry. Very enjoyable. Leaves you wanting more. Great character development and story depth. Great attention to detail. Great CGI.
Takes a while to warm to the new voices. But rewarding once you get there. Addictive entertainment.
