Is 'The Fixer' a 'Callan' remake for the noughties?
I'm in Australia and this series just began on SBS-TV tonight. It is the start of our non-ratings period and this series may have already aired on Pay-TV, however 2 years late is not unusual and better late than never. Although I have only just viewed the first episode, I could have sworn I was watching a remake of the iconic 70's series "Callan" starring the late Edward Woodward.
Apart from the addition of more females in the cast, the script could have been lifted straight from that series, at least in the opening episode.
Anybody else made the comparison? Can't say whether this programme has any promise yet as "Callan" was such an iconic programme for it's time (& it still remains timeless) and would be hard to beat.
Cheers & beers
