The legacy of Adam Adamant Lives!

So clever… but oh, so vulnerable.

The show has left a reputation with critics and even its own makers as a near-miss.

A large part of this can be seen in the difficulty that the makers had in finding suitable scripts.

This inability to quite get the balance and tone of the series affects the main character too.

This works against the show as Adam looks so very out of place but never really feels that different.

This has leadAdam Adamant Lives!to largely be forgotten as simply a rip-off.
