Treadstone

The series was extremely good in my opinion not quite 10/10 top tier but one of the better action series around if a little predictable at tunes but just enough other twists to keep you guessing. Unfortunately however the series hasn't been renewed and the story did not conclude at all the most annoying thing when you get invested into a show! If you don't like that happening I'd give it a miss and save yourself the pain and annoyance.

So I waited till the third episode before I made a solid conclussion. My conclussion, too much isn't the answer, characters, places, flashbacks, cramming in as much as possible has the opposite of the desired effect. In episode three the viewer is shown the happenings in four separate places in the space of a minute and a half, why, it's a TV series, they have plenty of time. It tries to be gritty but sleek at the same time, some of the dialogue is crafted, some quite laughable, "How did you become so strong?". It all just seems to be rushing the storyline and forgetting the characters, you end up not giving a toss about them. As for the acting well a few standout but Tracy Ifeachor is woefully bad. If you like the Bourne series of films you won't like this, yes it will fill some time but you won't go out of your way for it.

Great sets, great casting, plot captivating and easy to follow, great choreography fight scenes ...the essence of the books and movies!

No pc, no social agenda forced on us, no identity politics - that's extremely rare, these days with new series and movies!

Good job!

This series had potential but really disappoints. They blew it by trying to cram little snippets of each plot thread into every single episode. It didn't give you any space to connect emotionally with the different characters.

That's what made the original Bourne movies work. It wasn't so much about the spy stuff or the fighting, something this show seems to misunderstand as it serves up gratuitous amounts of pointless hand-to-hand combat to the point of boring predictability. It was about our emotional investment in the tortured man and his story.

This show just doesn't give us any characters worth caring about. A more episodic format-with each episode focused on a particular character-could have worked better in this regard, but the the writing and acting quality would have needed to be turned up a few notches as well. As it is, Treadstone feels like B-grade Jason Bourne fan fiction, and I totally lost interest three episodes in.

The last episode in no way gives a resolution to everything going on. finishes at least two episodes short. if they don't renew for a new season, we're all screwed!!!!
