Countdown

Look, anything Jensen Akles is in will be amazing. His brand of rogue humor is the best. The show is good. But man are they pushing some storylines in such a horribly obvious way. Oliveras is annoying and it's irritating how hard the storyline pushes her and Akles character. And they are bringing in other big arc "dramatic" story issues all in Episode 1. It's too much. Let us just enjoy the characters and cast. But maybe give Akles a female lead that works with his character because it's not working with the one they have.

I would love to see this rely more on good writing and character interaction and less on shock value. You have a great cast to work with, so use them and not all these random side plots.

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.

Only seen two episodes but it's a good start. Good acting and interesting storyline so far. My only issue is with the character that has had an untreated glioblastoma for 9 months. They wouldn't have lived for that long with it untreated and they would have a lot more symptoms and be unable to work. I get it's a TV show but this bit is just way too unrealistic for me (speaking from experience as a close family member had a glioblastoma). I know this is a dumb thing to focus on but it annoys me because they clearly didn't do their research and just pulled a diagnosis that would sound " good and extreme."

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.

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.
