It still stands up!
2 of 2 found this helpful What I love about this show is that it is totally over the top but in a non-gendered way: it's not really a chick show and it's not hyper-masculine.
Also, it's politically potent today. With everything that is going on in the world with Iraq and international terrorism, the show is probably more accurate in terms of spies and counter-terrorist plots than it was when the show first came out. Who heard of Hezbollah in 1996? Now it's commonplace.
Also, the "technology" still stands up- the gel screens and gadgetry haven't changed too much from what's on TV today.
Anyways, this show is pure escapism, will fulfill any chicks desire for sexual tension (over 5 seasons!), and is other-worldy. Though it was created for American television, all of the characters have accents, the fashion is more European than Hollywood, and the music is non-mainstream. If you enjoy good action and a constructed world all it's own, this show will make you happy.
