Professionals

Puts one in mind of 80s "A-Team", with cigar chewing Hannibal, some frivolity, and extras emerging every week from a hail of live ammunition. This one's more straight-faced, but pretty entertaining also, not for its attention to detail, but for its unabashed 'send-up' of dramas that take themselves too seriously. It's cleverer than you think to appear to satirize yourself whilst calling out the contrived situations of other mediocre shows. 'Professionals' is recommendable for good, tongue-in-cheek family viewing. Tom Welling is one of those familiar faces, with a saucy grin, who understands perfectly his role in this production - likeable, unorthodox, sartorial.

It's really bad in about as many ways as possible but kind of watchable in a sense that you're interested in how bad they can actually make it

Now I'm not hateful person and, since I chose for some reason to watch this show, I feel I have to find some reward for those poor souls involved - * I felt the theme music, which was dangerously close to plagiarising the Avengers' theme tune, was the best part of the show and it was used frequently enough throughout each episode to turn it into a bit of an earwig * Some of the locations were very beautiful * The end credits were very clear and easy to read

This was a huge let down, as an avid Brendan Fraser fan I decided to watch this resulting in being absolutely mortified by every minute of it. I would have given this negative stars if that were in any way possible. This has to be one of the worst shows I've seen in years. The premise and the unravelling of the plot is absurd. The stiff and wooden performances are, at best, distracted as is the direction. Cheap production values, a horrific script filled with cliché after cliché, laughable acting, there isn't one redeemable thing. This wasn't a funny kind of bad. It was just plain bad. Don't. Just. Don't.

Not sure how I even managed to watch this because it was a failure on all levels. The acting on this show is unwatchable. I kept watching hoping things would change but Tom Welling and his supporting actors made me cringe into another dimension. The directing was the worst I've ever seen and the story was dull. Save your time and avoid it at all costs.

Just watch 1st episode and so far I like it! It sort of clumsy multibillionaire business couple hiring a group of independent group of military mercenaries with special skills. It like a personal private CIA agency operation that is being run so far by the multibillionaire business couple. They go on a mission to find stuff and hunt for information. Use high tech gear for their investigation. Money to open doors. It an adventure, espionage, action, detective drama, comedy.

I chuckle at all the interaction between the team. I am in love the blonde lady mercenary. Will continue to watch this series because it is different.
