    Scanialara You won't be disappointed!
    Konterr Brilliant and touching
    Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
    Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.
    racesgirl2000-1 If you loved the original series, now is the time to catch the revival on streaming. The unique British absurdity humor is fresh & new, and yet a near perfect manifestation of the original style but with different characters and narration from the moron who narrates Come Dine with Me.Sure the context of each joke or reference is modern but still uses the playful wit and silliness that makes it fun and funny for any age. As has already been noted, the story lines are pure camp, the characters are caricatures and plot development completely arbitrary but it adds to the charm. If you as me, this show is pretty damn good and I think that there should be an episode similar to There's a Penfold in My Suit.
    superkeegan The World's Greatest Secret Agent is back, baby. Out of all the reboots I've seen, this one has to be the best. I started watching the original show last week (watched all 11 episodes of the first season), and then I watched the reboot one day later, and I have to say, this reboot was better than I was expecting. What I like about this show is that they did a version of the original theme song and the humor in this show makes it a love letter to fans of the original (though that's not necessarily true for some, I've seen negative reviews as well). If you like the original show, chances are, you'll like the reboot. The Powerpuff Girls can learn a thing or two from Danger Mouse. The only thing I hate about this reboot is that it didn't make it in America, so they put it on Netflix instead (I hate when Netflix acquires shows and claims them as their own). It could've been on Nickelodeon or on Disney XD, but NO! They had to put it on NETFLIX. Ugh, I'm getting off- topic here. Like I said, this show is just as good as the original, but I'm sick of seeing reboots.

If you are not a fan of Terry Pratchett, Douglas Adams, Stephen Fry (voices Colonel K), Huge Laurie, etc. then this show if not your cup of tea.
    mike65-1 Chances are nobody was really ready to put of the bunting when it was announced that 80s children's favourite Danger Mouse was being revived. After all said plenty online why not just show the David Jason era episodes again, its not as if they've dated in any meaningful way - the new series essentially proves that to be true as they have changed very little in terms of tone and style. Sure the visuals are slicker but they are very much patterned after the original look and feel while the script and voice characterisation could almost be lifted straight. The casting is pretty much perfect Alexander Armstrong as DM knows when to raise a vocal eyebrow and Kevin Eldon is perfect as Penfold, capturing the essential traits of the little guy who'd love to be big if only he was brave enough (and actually he's happy enough leaving the derring-do stuff to Danger Mouse). The stories are as daft as a brush and all the better for it - its hard not be smile when the villain in an episode is a toilet which has gone through an unintended forced software upgrade. The gags come quick and often and many of the quips will surely zoom right over the heads of the supposed core audience. As such Danger Mouse is arguably wasted on CBBC and instead would make a nice piece of tie-in programming with Pointless on BBC One - after all they have the same lead in both!
