Man in a Suitcase: Set 1

As ‘Mac’ McGill, an American ex-spy trying to live an undetected life in swinging 60′s London, Ricard Bradford set a new level of cool for TV when this series was first broadcast in 1968. It’s a high water mark that few have even come close to since. The cases he gets involved in – always reluctantly — are intriguing, especially when you forgive them for the Cold War angles that just haven’t aged very well. The sets are retro-chic cool and the acting is, for the most part, excellent. Its Bradford’s performance, however, that makes the series so addictive.
