Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

Sammy-Jo Cervantes There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Jemima It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

healthydadathome 'Taken' fan here. I look for latest episode almost every single day. If there isn't one, I rewatch an episode. This has been brilliantly done and if you've watched the movies you see a bit of how Brian became the way he became. Brilliant acting. I love the action. Incredible story lines.

Tweekums This series is a cross between a prequel and a reboot for the 'Taken' films; instead of being about a retired CIA operative fighting to protect it his wife and child we get a series centred on a much younger Bryan Mills. This one is single, has no children and is much younger.In the opening episode his sister is murdered; inevitable he sets about finding those responsible. Shortly afterwards he is recruited by a government agency run by Christina Hart. Over the course of the first season this agency tackles various terrorists and villains leading up to a cliff hanger ending where Mills is captured and ends up in a Mexican prison. The second season is almost a whole new show... by the time Mills gets free the agency is no more and Hart is setting up a new private security firm that does similar work. She and Mills are the only characters remaining; they are joined by a Hacker named Kilroy and another operative, Santana. Once again they take on threats to the United States, many involving a shadowy, rival organisation.I can understand why the creators would want to associate this with the successful films... unfortunately as it has to be toned down for television and clearly doesn't have as large a budget it will draw negative comparisons. This is a pity as it wasn't a bad show. The episodes are mostly of the villain-of-the-week variety but they do provide some solid action in every episode. Clive Standen does an impressive job in the role of Mills and the rest of the cast are pretty good too. The way most of the cast were cleared out at the start of season two was a bit of a surprise to say the least but the new characters did seem more important to the show. One can accept that TV series that are set in global locations won't actually film where they are set but this frequently didn't even try to hide the fact that it was made in Canada but set in the US... at one point Mexican villains supposedly flying from the US to Mexico use a float plane that doesn't only have a Canadian registration; it also has a large maple leaf and the word 'Canada' painted on it! The conclusion to the second season suggested the creators were hoping for more but at least it concluded the main on-going plot arc. Overall I'd say this series was entertaining enough; fun to watch once but I doubt I'll ever re-watch it.

orangekate Loved this series. Husband and I are sad to see it go.

sout-63306 I've just about reached the end of season 1 and I'm not sure why I've watched it for this long.Some episodes have been fine. Others are tedious rewrites of previous episodes with slightly different settings. In this second last episode the writers have gone into an endless loop - all in the same episode. It would be better if those making the series could decide whether they are writing a soap opera or an action series. Those who favour soap operas might find the action scenes distracting. Those who favour action films will be very frustrated by the soap opera shenanigans.The word "authentic" is very over-used these days, but the lack of authenticity in this series (and downright silliness in parts) detracts and makes the series as a whole very unsatisfying.
