The Green Hornet, Episode 5: The Time Bomb

 "He's got two murders to his name."

"They haven't been proved!"

Apologies for the wait. It's just that new seasons of Stranger Things, Obi-Wan Kenobi and The Boys all started simultaneously, but I'm now up to date with the first two. This and Breaking Bad have been added to the schedule; Luke Cage resumes next week.

It's good to be back in movie serial land, though, and the greatest theme tune ever. Who cares if the car crash, completre with explosion, is a cop out? Complete with, er, the cops chasing Green Hornet and Kato. I love how they all comically suspect he's a criminal- all but Britt's comically trusting secretary, the only female to be seen-

Again, we have the behatted hoods with their terrible suits from the 1940s, the decade taste forgot almost as much as the 1970s. Again, we have Britt/Green Hornet slowly investigating the racket, getting one rung higher this time, with a bit of help from Michael the Comedy Irishman.

Hilariously, we end with yet another car exploding. Ah, I've missed this.
