...viewers desiring drama, the network has dreamed up The Immortal, all about a guy whose blood type makes him immune to disease-as well as aging -and hence is on the run from all those other guys who want his secret; Zig Zag, featuring a trio of master criminologists consisting of Ralph Bellamy, George Maharis and Inger Stevens; and The Silent Force, concerning the fight against organized crime.

Its script is low camp; its direction, by George Hill, lacks not only credibility but competence; its editing is both ill timed and ill-executed (employing grisly cutting devices like zig-zags and eyeopeners); its acting, with a few not terribly noteworthy exceptions, reeks...
