  • Reviews

    " Mission: Impossible had a sense of pizzazz common to the cinema of the mid-to-late '60s, though relatively new to television. A good portion of each episode relied on images instead of dialogue, and between the subjective camerawork and the propulsive Lalo Schifrin score - which made even moments of nothingness seem fraught with tension - Mission: Impossible was a concentrated dose of pre-counterculture cool. Rarely have guys in short hair and neat suits seemed so genuinely hip..." - Noel MurrayA.V. Club: Mission: Impossible: The Complete First TV Season review
