... Strike Back from 10-15 years ago. Same mismatched heroes - cockey American, sensible Englishman / South African. I this case, the American is doing his best look-alike imitation of Keanu Reeves (even to the way KR runs! )

I'll give it a couple more episodes to see if it's worth the trouble or if, in effect, I've already seen the show ...

As for it's nigh rating - probably because few have seen the 'original'.

... this BAD in 1995?

DO NOT WATCH this piece of nonsense. I'm asking because I was there and I can't remember seeing anything like this! Perhaps I was lucky, until now. I mean, we had Seven and Die Hard and Bond and HEAT and Just Cause and 12 Monkeys and THIS piece of trash has somehow managed 5.6 on IMDb??? You must be joking!

I repeat: DO NOT WATCH or waste you time, as I have just done ...

... doesn't quite manage bring the whole show done to 'over-acting school', level, thanks to the generally higher standard of most of the rest of the cast, but she does her best to. The show fluctuates between interesting, even clever, to the absurd ( Bruce Lee would be little more than a punching bag for Jennifer ). You might get hooked on the 'What happens next' hook approach but you'll also find yourself shaking your head in disbelief and/or confusion. To stay the course, or not, you'll probably decide by halfway through season 1. Oh! And you'll probably hate the director's idea of having two actors screaming simultaneously in each other's faces, because, after all that's exactly what you'd expect Te'o senior CIA agents to do when their points of view differ.
