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.

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.

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.

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'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.
