First season has more punch....

"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.

"This is not the cool first season, but if you get it at a discount, then it's ok. The cheaper the price, the more it's nice."
