Review of The Green Hornet

After the tremendous success of Batman (1966) it seemed that the producers would focus on continuing to make hero series for TV, they focused on The Green Hornet and the intention was to make an adventure series with a more serious tone than Batman. The result was quite uneven, the duration of chapters of 30 minutes per week did not contribute to finish exploiting to the maximum the stories that were often quite simple in their development. Van Williams was very good in his role but a hero in a suit and a heavy overcoat made him look somewhat stiff and stiff, Bruce Lee was able to show off his skills as Kato and ended up having almost more prominence than Williams himself. The series met with moderate reception and only lasted one season, despite this it became a cult classic largely due to its soundtrack. The sensational opening theme went a long way in helping audiences identify with the series and the character over the years.
