I've watched Modesty Blaise countless times since it came out. It's so fun, funny, satirical, laughing at itself, with lots of fun design, and silliness. It pokes fun at the world of international politics in ways that are still 100% relevant. Made during the cold war "Secret Agent" era, this movie is NOT about the US/USSR drama, which is refreshing. The casting is inspired, and I imagine it must have been a lot of fun to make; great locations, wild clothes, even some fight scenes! It's always surprised me that it hasn't become more popular, more well known. If you haven't seen it, check it out and enjoy!
The show is a well done court-room drama, fairly light in terms of the violence (which I appreciate!). Casting and writing are intelligent and yes, this show very much pushes social issues. I think that's a good thing!
I find it fascinating that some of the comments here, about this show, are critical of the social mission. Why would a person object to entertainment that challenges the status quo, and which illuminates the experience of people who are usually marginalized? This is part of how people learn, by challenging the familiar. Kudos to the producers, writers, cast and crew, for bringing us something that inspires viewers to think. Even those who are uncomfortable with the content must admit, it made them think.
