Countdown

Ok but of a slow start but it really finds its footing. Very entertaining and enjoyable. Jensen Ackles is always a treat and he seems like he's really having fun with this. Eric Dane is also doing all the right things and looking great doing them. The whole cast is a perfect fit. Give this a watch an enjoy.

Show starts for lack of a better term, awkward. Unsure if that's a writing/acting choice with a new task force coming together, or just clunky. But it's obvious.

Luckily, there is enough substance and intrigue with characters to get you through the first couple of episodes into what I would think is a fairly decent show. At least it had me turning up each week.

The decision to run with E10, is was not my preference and missed the mark. However, I'll count E11 as season 2 and get on with it.

Overall, I think the actors do great, music score and filming is good. But writing could use a writer's room to flesh out some of the dialogue and plot holes. Worth a watch and a season 2. But don't expect brilliance.

I am a huge fan of procedurals or series that have mysteries and then as a result, cases to solve. And an even bigger fan of stories where a band of misfits are bought together to solve it all. When do many different personalities come together, really interesting situations and moments are created.

What hooked me to the show is, that I can see that even though it will solve the main case, it will also form bonds between the team.

I already am loving Mark and Amber's chemistry. That they don't see eye to eye yet and are still forming a team is really interesting.

The cast is really good. Obviously Jensen leads the one as the most effective performer, charismatic, profound, and expressive. And I am further impressed by how well he's carved out Mark as a character. But even the others are great. Waiting for more characters to evolve to speak for others. But very impressed by Jensen, Eric Dane, Jessica Camacho so far.

I've been looking forward to Countdown ever since I first saw the trailer for this. I started watching this with my brother the day it came out and we both loved it. It all starts and ends with another strong performance from Jensen Ackles. He plays LAPD detective Mark Meachum, who is recruited to a secret task force with undercover agents from all different types of law enforcement. They're brought together to hunt for a killer who murdered an officer with Homeland Security. As they investigate they find out a plot much worse than one murder victim. From there they have to race against time to save millions of people. There is plenty of action and drama to keep you wanting more. I can't recommend this series enough.

How can you leave season 1 on a huge cliffhanger and the show has not been renewed? That's Bad Form. Now we have to hope Amazon picks this up, which is highly doubtful since the review score is under 7. Jessica Camacho was awesome in this show. Ackles, he was outstanding. Just hate the way the series ended. BAD FORM!
