You’ve possibly realised I’ve been getting through all sorts of TV box sets.
In an attempt to rebuild the collection I lost, when the external drive I had with my media on, got knocked over.
Well …
I’ve manage to finish binge watching the box set I had, of Blake’s 7.
Just in case you’d not seen it? Blake’s 7 was something of a hit series from the late 1970s/early 1980s: following the story of a small group of characters, fighting against a Federation that resembled Nazi Germany’s.
And best remembered for both its gloomy tone, its tendency to kill main characters, if needed, AND for the fact the title character, Roj Blake — played by Gareth Thomas — left at the end of series two…
It’s ALSO remembered for a series climax that — for it’s time — was shocking: in seeing ALL the main characters killed: after Blake was shot by Avon — Paul Darrow — the other main character.
Frankly … ?
I know of nothing else like it, with the possible exceptions of The Prisoner.
