The Fugitive

I was excited for a remake of The Fugitive and always liked Kiefer Sutherland. But I'm not a fan of these ridiculous mini episodes. I like to get engrossed in my shows and get to know the characters and see the story unfold. At first I wondered if I'd somehow fast forwarded the show or was I watching an extra long 8 minute preview for it? Then I realised it was another one of those horrible mini shows. A huge no from me. A waste of time.

I like it ... except the 8-min format. It was clearly not produced for "You Tube" short format ... a std. 44-min tv show that was rudely cut to fit modern low-attention-span audience. But this show is made for/by adults who are not YT generation. Restore it to 44-min., w/maybe 6-12 episodes/season (remember "24" ran with 24 great episodes!!). BTW ... I like this series !!

OMG the acting in this movie is AWFUL! Freaking Kiefer with his "can I get a copy boss?" every 3 minutes. Beyond the awful acting, the premise is ridiculous!!! It went from 0-1000 throwing all logic and reason out the window. Then lets talk about the 7-8 min show. Why bother making 11 episodes that short? Why not just make a freaking movie! All in all this is a train wreck for me.

This could have been a well worth watching series but the 8/10 minute episodes don't give you enough time to get engrossed in the plot. Why do this? Got the talent and should have been thought out a bit better.

While the jury is still out on how this "Quibi" format is going to go over, the first 3 episodes of this show are extremely engaging. Granted, I have only watched 30 minutes of total show thus far. The acting so far is great with stars like Keifer Sutherland and Boyd Holbrook as the leads. For a show with so little content, it does a great job and making you care about what is happening with its characters. I still consider 24 to be greatest written television drama of all time so of course I came for Keifer Sutherland and really like the character hes playing here. Hes a bit rude and sarcastic which is a nice change from the Jack Bauer character we came to know for many years. I'll definitely continue watching to see where this goes but so far its as good as I could hope for a show that only has a half hour of content released.
