In an age when large-scale natural disasters frequently happen all over the world, when cyborgs and autonomous robots are beginning to appear on the market in technologically advanced nations, and major world powers compete for technology and resources, the divide between rich and poor grows and the future for the poor looks bleak. In this transitional stage, everyone wanders around in a self-indulgent daze and the way out isn't clear... This is the story of how two cybernetically enhanced girls meet.

    I watched the abridged (ninety minutes) version of this serialisation and though I did like the eponymous baddie, I think it would have been better left as a twelve-parter with a week between each episode to anticipate the next instalment - and possibly forget the last. It's all about a devious scientists who is bent on stealing a device that can short circuit just about everything electrical on Earth - extremely useful at neutralising atom bombs, in case you were wondering what anyone would build such a device in the first place. Anyway, before the American military can get hold of the device from it's inventor, he sends his henchmen to pinch it. They hadn't bargained on the heroic efforts of "Duncan" (Chares Quigley) though and soon the tables, chair and windows are all smashed and there are headaches all around. Luckily, the feisty "Diana" (Linda Stirling) is there to help out and despite the death inducing electrical collars you just know that good will win out. That's maybe the problem for me, here. The episodes are quite exciting at the start - ray guns and loads of threat, but quickly the repetitious fisticuffs and frenetic pace of the score starts to overwhelm the fun scientific elements of this. Some of the use of shadow works quite well to sustain a sense of peril, but the acting is really nothing special and after a while even the masked terror lost his menace. "Nothing stands in the way of the Crimson Ghost"! Well, maybe a dentist might have been in order. If you can see the three hours of original programming, then I'd go for that. Shortened, it's all a bit predictable and not that great.
