Going back to the 1960s with Zen

I can't be the only one who felt that, mobile phone usage aside, everything about the recent Zen television adaptation starring Rufus Sewell OOZED 1960s/early 1970s?!

Everything from the credits, to the music style, to the cinematography, to the use of split screens screamed Thomas Crown Affair, The Persuaders, Bullitt etc. It certainly isn't very challenging, but somehow it feels well done. Even the most predictable events of last night's finale for this short run stirred me to laugh and react.

Reviews etc
