25 Best Superhero TV Shows Of All Time
2. Wonder Woman
Wonder Woman is often remembered for being the always triumphant and undeniably heroic adventure series that turned Lynda Carter's Princess of the Amazons into a pop culture phenomenon. It's hard to argue with any of that because that's exactly what the show did over its three-year run as it enjoyed tremendous success and proved that female superheroes deserve a place on television too.
However, it's easy to dismiss it as a legendary piece of history that wouldn't stand up against the movie-like plots of today's offerings because something that is often overlooked when reflecting on Wonder Woman is the standard of writing behind it.
Cheesy and triumphant as it could be, the show was also incredibly well-storylined, with the first season doing a exceptional job of showcasing the heightened tensions in 1940s America during World War II ('The Pluto File' is a work of art), while the following two seasons - billed as The New Adventures of Wonder Woman - saw it successfully transition into a '70s spy thriller heavy on double agents and espionage.
With countless compelling episodes to its name and a career-defining performance from Lynda Carter, Wonder Woman was a multi-faceted adventure series way ahead of its time that single-handedly turned the world's greatest female hero into a legend. It truly was an underappreciated wonder.
