From its first appearance in 1978 to its final episode in 1981, 'Blake's 7' was a series which pushed back the boundaries of what was possible in TV science fiction.

This book really impressed me with the detail of episode analysis that it has. It also changed my entire perspective on one particular character in the series by looking at things that happened in many episodes and putting together a well thought out theory about that character.... I believe the theory to be giving too much credit to the writing team, for planning out many details of a character that I don't really believe were very well thought out, but the theory works pretty well for me.
Again, the aforementioned theory changed my perspective on one character in a huge way and I think it is a must read, certainly for that reason if not for others that are not foremost in my mind.
