Countdown

From what I believe is that this show has the potential to be better, from writing to acting. I, however have enjoyed the first three episodes that im actually rewatching it. Some people may think is too cliche or too poor of an acting or writing but you can start to see they are working through the scripts. I know that is hard to trust a process but i just know it will get better. (Thats me hoping). Sometimes you may predict what happen next on the show but sometimes thats a good thing, sometimes it might seem like a show you have already watched but is honestly not that bad, cop drama end up having the same elements at times and there isnt much you cant do.. I say giving it a try would be nice because is just the first three episodes, we dont know how it will actually carry itself for the next ones.

Overall:

Writing 6/10 Acting 7/10 Engagement 7/10 Triller 6.5/10 Drama 7/10 Action 8/10.

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.

Countdown is finally here and it didn't disappoint. There are a million crime dramas that come out every year so one has to stand out for people to watch it and Countdown definitely stands out and is worth your time. There's one reason this stands out over other crime dramas...Jensen Ackles. I've been a big fan of Jensen Ackles ever since he broke out in Supernatural and he's just as terrific here. He's the best thing about this series as he carries it. Theresa only negative is we have to wait a week between episodes, I hate that and much prefer to binge watch the season in a few days. This isn't going to win any awards and it's not some groundbreaking new show but it is very entertaining and I promise you'll have fun watching it. It will keep you engaged with its non stop action and fast paced story.

I was hoping for a 24 type vibe for this show and what it is is more NCIS. Eric Dane and Jensen Ackles put in great believable performances but im not sold on some of the other performances or the chemistry between Ackles and Camacho the female lead,shes a little bit wooden and I can see the acting on her face, shes not the only one and It's hard to get lost in the show while your watching. I like shows like Criminal minds etc so if your a fan of those I think you'll like this. I'm only a few episodes in and invested to see where its going to go. The script is a bit cliché so im hoping it doesn't get totally ridiculous as can sometimes happen.

Ep11 - Majority of Singaporeans speak English! I think the writers were thinking of Indonesian or Malaysian nationals?!

Other than that, I do appreciate the great audio production (mix sounds amazing) and lighting and video work is stellar.

Storyline is rather predictable. However Jensen Ackles makes things entertaining. He's stuck with it since Dark Angel and season after season of Supernatural. That earns him my respect.
