The Endgame - Um Jogo de Vingança

I m enjoying this so far. Is it great, no, but not as bad as so many others. Many keep comparing this to The Blacklist, but I don't really see this. For some reason, I keep thinking about The Following when I watch this show. She is charismatic like the cult leader, clever and seems to have her followers. I'm looking forward to seeing where this show goes.

This show is not perfect by any means but (so far) it knows what it is and it has with its two female leads. They are the draw. And I also really like that the show has gone all in with Doak. Yes this has Blacklist written all over it but Blacklist was a fun show for the first couple of seasons and I know people HATED Liz but when the show revolved around the relationship between Red and Liz it was often at its best. Elena and Val are gold in this and I think the writers are at least smart enough to know keeping them in the same sphere is the smart thing to do and so far they aren't writing Val as an idiot so Elena can get away with some crazy big level thing that makes no sense anyway. I think the story itself is an interesting one. Elena is a gangster, who wants her family back, going up against Elon Musk level crime lords who own governments and the only person she can trust is Val who is honest enough to put her own husband in prison but smart enough to see the big picture when things go sideways.

If this gets renewed I am in for another season.

I like this way more then I thought that I would. I am hopeful for a season 2. If there is a season 2, I would like for them to step it up a bit as far as the action scenes are concerned (I feel like they don't have that big of a budget). I would also want to see more of a drama aspect.

Not very likely to come to the same standing positions of the best seasons of a 24 but it has the potential of becoming the next (The) Blacklist and gain a good following if it improves and sticks to landing as the season progresses. What makes really makes the series are the performances of Morena Baccarin and Ryan Michelle Bathe who are both excellent and their chemistry very intense and entertaining to watch on screen. What I believe would help the show going forward is managing tone, the premiere went one way - dark and serious, and in the other - a bit more tongue in cheek. The imbalance doesn't hurt the program, but it's there and could be handled better.

NBC has got to be careful with this one, they've dropped the ball on too many promising series to name.

I was surprised to see this having been rated about 6. This is a solid crime thriller. Everybody has done a very good job in terms of acting and the screenplay keeps you hooked. I watched all 10 episodes in one go so i was probably at an advantage. Its smart, its suspenseful and all the main characters have been developed nicely. Binge worthy.
