I find it really enjoyable because they don't take it seriously. The chemistry between Welling & Fraser is great, the Europol guy is funny, the cartoonish evil siblings are the perfect villains in this combination. I would never watch it if it was a serious show. It reminds me of the 80s, like A-Team and some of those movies back then.

I say this after watching the whole season 1 in one go. Let's be honest, the pilot is terrible. But it's a pilot so we give it a discount. It gets better but it's all on Fraser and Welling. They find their footing halfway through the show and their chemistry works. The secondary cast is weak, dialogs sounds forced and storytelling gets a bit confusing at times. Better or more experienced actors could have improved the bad writing. But it's watchable, some gripping moments and laughs and it has potential for season two. It's no Strike Back even with the strong resemblance but it entertains. ...

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.

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

Show is made like they were in the 90s or 2000s, but it is missing an identity and uniqueness. Think of Renegade, Highlander, The Invisible Man, Burn Notice. They have a unique character that can make every filler episode and cliché still somehow entertaining and interesting to watch. This show doesn't. I expected that Tom Welling and Brendan Faser would bring it, but so far they don't, they are poorly written. But still they are the only reason I'm watching it, hoping for something, anything. But I'm afraid it's a lost cause.

But it doesn't necessary mean a bad thing. It's possible that the whole purpose of this show is like a target practice, to see if our favorite Tom and Brendan are still live and kicking and capable of something bigger, before they set any plans in motion. Think of it as an audition.

Because that's what I would do, because personally I see a potential in them.
