I guess with the new administration coming in, ABC thought they needed some conservative programming, so they trotted out Tim Allen. Same format and character as his previous shows except for one detail-this show is not funny. The laugh track is overbearing and distracting. It seems to think every line is funny. They are not. I do not need a laugh track to tell me something is funny. The writers should provide the humor.

I still like Tim Allen, but there are no other likable characters in the show. It is a shame that in this PC era that we can not make a really funny show anymore. Time to get original.

I always enjoy limited series as I am not left hanging for a year for the next season or worse, just left hanging. I also like the author and have read most of his books, including this one about 3-4 years ago.

I, so far have been disappointed with the Harlan Coben adaptations and this one did little to change that. As is true in his books, there was a lot of plot twists and misdirection. It was overly drawn out and could have been done in 5 or 6 episodes easily. To be truthful I do not remember the exact ending of the book, but the series did nothing to jog my memory. I am sure it was revised a bit.

Not bad, but not the best series out there.

No wonder it made it to Amazon Prime 6 months after its theatrical release. It was sort of a Jurassic Park meets Indiana Jones movie. The whole movie was a chase and escape adventure movie. There was almost no plot at all. All of the charm and story of the original movie was gone. This was just another attempt to squeeze a little more money from the franchise.

If you have the time, watch the original. It was innovative and entertaining. This was to be expected though. It happens all the time on successful movies. Unfortunately, the originality is lost and we just have the name left. Watch it if it is free, it is worth that.
