Contagem Regressiva

The show so far seems pretty good, lots of action. Couple actors seem to be trying too hard, it's a new show though, perhaps they'll adjust into their character as it progresses. Ackles, however, fits into the plot like a glove on Mantle. They definitely went pretty darn hard on the soundtrack though lol. Couple times maybe juuuuuuust a bit too hard throwing in some hard rock to Amp the scene. Still has a good feel, but could definitely do with maybe just a tad bit of backing off the heavy/loud music occasionally. As long as the show stays with the story, action and drama and AWAY from the political agendas which Hollywood seems to try to force into everything they make now, then I think it'll continue to grow into a great series.

Don't recommend watching it on Amazon Prime (unless this is the only way, haven't checked that.) WAY too many ads/commercials!

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."

From what I believe is that this show has the potential to be better, from writing to acting. I, however have enjoyed the first three episodes that im actually rewatching it. Some people may think is too cliche or too poor of an acting or writing but you can start to see they are working through the scripts. I know that is hard to trust a process but i just know it will get better. (Thats me hoping). Sometimes you may predict what happen next on the show but sometimes thats a good thing, sometimes it might seem like a show you have already watched but is honestly not that bad, cop drama end up having the same elements at times and there isnt much you cant do.. I say giving it a try would be nice because is just the first three episodes, we dont know how it will actually carry itself for the next ones.

Overall:

Writing 6/10 Acting 7/10 Engagement 7/10 Triller 6.5/10 Drama 7/10 Action 8/10.

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.

This is a fun, action-packed show with some nice comedic moments. It's not something you have to take super seriously- you can just enjoy the ride.

If you're stuck-up and pretentious, you probably won't enjoy it. If you can just sit back and have some fun, then ignore the wannabe arm-chair critics and give it a go.

Eric Dane and Jensen Ackles do a great job leading the show. The supporting cast doesn't get a chance to shine in the first three episodes, but I think they round out the team nicely as it goes.

My biggest con for the show is that I felt Volchek was under-developed and his motivation didn't totally click into place for me. I think he needed a stronger villain origin story. He came off a bit petty.
