it's like Simon Templar and Rod Houston,
just Brett Sinclair and Danny Wilde.
There was a strong feeling that one of the last series (and a very good one) of the classic "Saint" was inflated into a separate series, replacing one actor and the names of both characters. If suddenly this is actually the case, then this is only pleasing, because the start of the series is very good.
It was done very thoughtfully, competently and diligently: action-packed adventurous stories in beautiful locations with expensive cars, luxury hotels and charming beauties; carefully different, but ideally attractive main characters - rich, cute, athletic, noble, fashionable and bold, they are chic and have fun, drink and play, flirt and fight, but at the same time at the same time, they serve a just cause and defend justice, fighting notorious villains and solving crimes, under the unofficial leadership of a noble and fair judge.
It was shot much richer and larger than The Saint, but the plots seem overly contrived, there are too many frank cliches, the dialogues are bland and boring, and, most importantly, there is not that easy grace, irony and self-irony. Nevertheless, the series is of unconditional interest from a historical and cultural point of view, as a vivid illustration of the style of the seventies and then ideas about luxury, success and the world order, stereotypes and phobias.
In general, if you are not a particularly devoted fan of one of the main performers and do not study the fashion of the 70s professionally, you can safely skip this venerable age series.
Language. They speak well, correctly, but it is not so easy to understand. I didn't notice any complicated slang or heavy accent, but there is not the simplest vocabulary with some sloppiness of pronunciation. Subtitles won't hurt.
