Editorial Reviews

When the law fails you, The Protectors won’t. Unflappable American Harry Rule, beautiful Brit Contessa di Contini and suave Frenchman Paul Buchet return for another action-packed season of hi-tech sleuthing, international espionage and juicy romance. Based in London, Rome, and Paris, these three super detectives operate a secret agency, jetting around the world hiring out their services to those in need. Employing a variety of specialized skills ranging from expertise in arts and antiques to Judo and Bond-like gadgetry, The Protectors pit their wits against evildoers everywhere. No job is too small or too large for these intrepid heroes--governments are saved, innocent prisoners are sprung, spies are apprehended and glittering, rare jewels are recovered. Starring Robert Vaughn (The Man from U.N.C.L.E.) and filmed on location in some of the most exciting cities around the world, The Protectors is yet another TV cult classic from A&E and the creators of The Secret Service, Thunderbirds, and Space: 1999. This 4-pack DVD SET features all 26 thrilling episodes from The Protectors popular second season.

This review is from: The Protectors - Season Two (DVD)

Those who have Set One of The Protectors will undoubtedly enjoy this second set. Lots of international locations (not just the local studio at Pinewood is used here) making the series an interesting travelogue of international crime and glamourous detectives (Vaughn, Porter, and Anholt). My main gripe is that the episodes could have been more interesting--there simply is not enough time to really establish the frame of the story--we leap into the drama instantly without really knowing why.

The episodes are short--around 20-25 minutes, so there isn't really that much plot development (unlike what you would see in a 30 minute episode of Danger Man), but if you like action, then give the Protectors a spin on the DVD player--the 70's never looked better. Sadly, actors Anholt and Porter are no longer living. Anholt died of a brain tumor a few years ago; Porter, to breast cancer--all good supporting castmates to Robert Vaughn, the leader of this well-dressed band of international superheroes.

4.0 out of 5 stars And Into the Sunset ..., December 23, 2009

This review is from: The Protectors - Season Two (DVD)

The second , and final, season of THE PROTECTORS finds Harry Rule the target of a top assassin; a cable car being held for ransom; hauntings. Alot is said about the writing. Look at the credits and you will like the likes of Brian Clemmens and Terry Nation. At 30 minutes (with commercials) you certainly aren't going to have deep and insighful character development. It's meant as quick and wild ride at the amusement park nothing more. Take it at that and you'll be entertained. Look carefully and you will see other actors from SPACE: 1999 and, in two episodes American actor Shane Rimmer (CPT Carter of the USS Wayne in THE SPY WHO LOVED ME). This would be the second and final season. The relationship between star Vaughn and the Andersons had never been good and this was the end of it. Vaughn will always be remembered for U.N.C.L.E. but THE PROTECTORS is an interesting side note. What I find amusing is that brand new sets are selling for a tenth of what Amazon is asking.
