The XYY Man

Dated, worthless television rubbish.

I can&apos;t believe I actually bought this old tosh on DVD. What was I thinking?? This series only lasted 13 episodes (mercifully) and I struggled with the first 4 episodes. After that, I stopped watching and I sold the DVD set. The plots are so absurd, they defy description. The leading man is OK but not outstanding - he quickly faded into obscurity. The look of the series is so dated, it began to age even before transmission came to an end!! The only reason to glance at &quot;The XYY Man,&quot; is Don Henderson as the Detective Sergeant Bulman. The series that followed which made his character the lead, &quot;Strangers,&quot; is a much better made programme in all respects. Avoid &quot;The XYY Man&quot; series at all costs!
