Almost Paradise

I never understand people who rate movies based on reality versus expected. No, this show isn't realistic (the American airbase closed 10 years ago and guns aren't played with in PI like they are in the USA)

But it's fun and the lead character Christian Kane is extraordinary. And the detective chick is hot (mama the bikini scene!), the sidekick is a martial arts guru, and the scenery is beautiful. It's a silly little show but succeeds wildly as enjoyable, even if completely unbelievable.

An easy watch for the family that provides some good light entertainment. The plots are fairly predictable and provide a nice balance of comedy and action. I look forward to watching the next season and really enjoyed the unusual landscapes and scenery of the Philippines.

1st episode was 40 minutes long and sure introduces all main persons. I must say I am quite impressed as its better than I hoped for. The plot is simple but to my surprise it's way better and not as shallow as most telenovelas we usually know from the philippines.

It was fun watching and its also fun to point out places I recognized in Cebu. Easy to explain who the bad guys and good guys were, and having the female lead in a bikini the first episode didn't hurt either.

Some actors act a bit stiff but hey it is not a Netflix or Hollywood production. Much better it has a good story that doesnt get boring and not too much of this Ninja style I fight them all bad guys action szenes. Action when needed is short and to the poin so no waste of other time.

Looking forward for the rest of this series and I hope it will be shown in the Philippines one day too.

This is a FUN SHOW!! It's a cop show, but with a fun twist - the location. There is quite a bit of humor thrown in-much of it cultural, which is quite hilarious. It's refreshing to see a show that is NOT based in New York or LA. Give this title a chance, you'll enjoy it! It's really too bad it didn't get renewed. I would have like to have seen where they would take it.

I've been a fan of Christian Kane since Leverage and Second Hand Lions. This series is very refreshing. I wish I could see in person those scenery. The action is not bad. Recommended.
