No Easy Days

It's like a very very bad rip off of 24. Am only 3 episodes in and struggling to keep watching. The acting is quite bad and the storyline so far seems stretched. The president is far from presidential. It's bad. It's worse than this review

First I must concede that I have watched all episodes until episode 6 and I will probably watch the rest as well. So I would not be completely honest to rate this under 6.

But oh boy this is terrible. The acting is ridiculous even though I have watched some of the actors doing a better job in other shows, cinematography is the worst, it looks like a brazillian soap . Editing is so bad, directing is inexistent. Fights are not realistic. There are a few hot girls though, and their interactions with the other characters are hilarious at times. Fundamentally, the story is random and looks like a collection of ideas stolen from Jack Bauer's 24, including the dramatic clock effect, without a general plan or destination.

Yet I watch this. It is like watching students with no experience nor talent but a propensity to take surprisingly bad decisions when developing a project. I wonder what catastrophe is coming next and I enjoy it. So yeah, this is bad, but this is entertaining too once you accept this as a failed experiment.

On paper it looks promising but it's let down by Simon Phillips, the man behind Downing Street Siege and other action films best avoided. The acting is terrible, it's been badly researched and there are so many glaring errors it's unbelievable. It looks like a teenager has watched a few seasons of 24 and a couple of episodes of Seal Team and had a go themselves but removed all the reality.

Don't waste your time, unless of cause your best friend or relative stars in it. Every aspect of this show is amateurish for such garbage to be made in 2018 is an insult on the intelligence of the viewing public.

Where to start with this shocker? The script is ridiculous, and so full of plot holes and continuity gaffes that it appears to have been written by eight year olds. To say the acting is appalling is to give it to much credit. Cardboard cutouts delivering cliched dialog, much of it yelled ....not to mention the cheap sets and poor visual effects. Who made this rubbish? Shame on you.
