Richard Bradford stars as ex-CIA agent McGill now working as a private eye based in London. There are not words to express simply how good this show is , the character is brilliantly complex and this gives the show an enhanced realistic feel to it. ITC action shows were always superior to the USA's action shows like Hawaii-five O , Kojak and S.W.A.T due to the fact all the characters were unique and all were played brilliantly by their lead actors. These shows included The Saint , Jason King , The Persuaders and The Baron. The only trouble with these shows was that all the characters despite their originality had one flaw and that was there simplicity . To a certain degree this was what also made them excellent characters but often left them too in control of events during the shows . Man In A Suitcase however makes McGill a cynical , hard boiled and yet sympathetic person who wrestles with the anger he feels inside for being betrayed by life and his own country. Often the episodes have bitter sweet endings unlike the typical "good guy always makes things great" ending. The episodes are all exciting and original including well written scripts that are rare to find in a TV series. This is partly due to Richard Bradford's development to the character. Man In A Suitcase is simply an amazing action show , possibly the best you'll ever see , if you are a fan of ITC watch it ... every episode ! if you just like crime and investigator shows this show is still the best , check it out.
