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.

As a fan of Christian Kane since the days of Angel, I find this show to be both funny and thrilling at the same time. The cast works extremely well together, the writing is spot on, and the scenery is beautiful.
I can see so many possibilities for a new season, and I think it would be great if his "daughter" is included in new episodes.
I don't want to give anything away so if for some reason you missed it the first time, give it a try, watch reruns, if you can get them where you are, or find someone who recorded them. I really think you will enjoy it. And with the networks pulling shows without letting them get up some steam, I would hate to see this one get cancelled. I myself had seen no commercials for this show and caught it by chance. I'm glad I did!

Almost Paradise sneaked in with Christian Kane as strangely over heated ex DEA agent trying to retire and relax in Philippines, but called back to action by local law enforcement. Nothing new, the formula works. It's fun, no brainer, which is what a TV action series supposed to be.
For action fans, good series to recommend. For those searching for serious storylines and deep thoughts, don't watch this. It's a Dean Devlin produced series, it's fun, period.

I didn't think it was possible for this great show to get even better, but I was proven wrong. Season 2 was so much better and more fun and nail biting than before. The critics might draw similarities to other shows, but quite frankly, I don't think the fans care. The fact that it has an awesome cast, and is filmed in the Phillipines is what makes this show so much fun and reminds me of the the shows like "Rockford Files"! I refuse to give out spoilers, because each person should decide for themselves. It would be a total mistake to not film a Season 3. It's time to listen to your fans, guys! We love it!
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.
