The Tripods (1984–1985)
9/10
One of the best British TV series ever
20 April 2024
A children's show that adults can watch too as it's full of deep themes (futuristic at the time, but now eerily relevant). Such a shame that the BBC cancelled season 3. Would have been interesting, given the books the series is adapted from got better as they progressed.

I remember the scene where the lead male discovers a girl he loves has received the dreaded implant from the aliens - that scene was so intense and sad.

There are similarities, in a way, to some of the themes explored in another great British TV series, The Prisoner.

Even tho the series was not completed, it's still compelling viewing.
