One of the best films i have seen

Absolutely the worst movie.

A Brilliant Conflict

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Smart writing and great acting made this series (part of the CBS late night line up) a stand out.Part action/adventure, part comedy, part budding romance, Adderly turned the spy drama on its head by putting the characters in some interesting situations.Undercover operative V.H. Adderly is injured/disabled while on a special mission and is reassigned to ISI's office of Miscellaneous Affairs. He hungers to get back in the spy game, but the low level nature of Miscellaneous Affairs means that he is reduced to mundane and ordinary assignments instead of his previous exciting life.Winston Rekert pours on the charm as the secret agent looking to jump back in the mix. Jonathan Welsh provides some comic relief as Adderly's tightly wrapped boss, Melville Greenspan. Veteran character actor Ken Pogue plays Maj. Clack (the head of ISI) with his usual tough guy swagger. And Dixie Seatle shines as Mona, the partner in crime/apprentice spy/secretary who assists Adderly in assignments that go from dull to dramatic in less than 60 minutes.What they didn't have in big budgets or spectacular special effects, they more than made up for in clever plots, strong character development and as stated before, some really inventive writing and storytelling (many episodes written by novelist Elliot Baker).I used to work late nights at a CBS affiliate during the run of this show, and enjoyed every episode of this smart, funny, engaging and entertaining program.

I used to love this show. It was one of a group of shows that were being produced in Ontario.The lead character of V.H. Adderly was a former field agent for an intelligence agency. The opening credits show how he got set-up and captured by the bad guys, who maim one of his hands. Unable to continue in the field he gets reassigned to a desk in a department that handles such important matters as escorting "chipmunk scouts" on field trips.Naturally Adderly sought every opportunity to prove he was still one of the best, even if he had to "loosely interpret" his orders. Ably assisted by Mona, the office secretary who dreams of being a female James Bond, and hampered by their bean counting rule following supervisor, the team never failed to provide a fun entertaining episode.If they'd release the series on DVD I'd be in line when the store opened.

It's been a long time since I thought of this show. I was watching the Chuck Norris movie "Hit Man" and saw Ken Pogue. I remembered that I used to see him in some Canadian show about a spy that had much the same feel as another favorite, "MacGyver". I couldn't quite remember what the show was until I searched this site.Now I remember more about it, such as the pencil pushing boss and the slightly daft secretary. I see that it went on for a couple of years and hope that it will show up again in syndication, such as TVLand or something.I don't remember lots of specifics, but I do remember I tried never to miss an episode.

"Adderly" is not of the caliber of "Twin Peaks" or "24," but it is a sharply written, clever little show that will appeal to anyone stuck in a menial job. Winston Reckert plays off his aging-pretty-boy-looks well, and Dixie Settle is a nice romantic foil. All in all, this is memorable Canadian series.
