La cuenta atrás

Countdown is finally here and it didn't disappoint. There are a million crime dramas that come out every year so one has to stand out for people to watch it and Countdown definitely stands out and is worth your time. There's one reason this stands out over other crime dramas...Jensen Ackles. I've been a big fan of Jensen Ackles ever since he broke out in Supernatural and he's just as terrific here. He's the best thing about this series as he carries it. Theresa only negative is we have to wait a week between episodes, I hate that and much prefer to binge watch the season in a few days. This isn't going to win any awards and it's not some groundbreaking new show but it is very entertaining and I promise you'll have fun watching it. It will keep you engaged with its non stop action and fast paced story.

Wasn't sure I would watch, not a big fan of course shows but what the heck. Was glad I did. First the actors: Ackles, as usual, give a stellar performance. The guy is a gifted actor and has charm to spare... And okay, he's super easy on the eyes. He delivers, he's believable and I can't wait to see her goes. Dane gives a solid, intense performance. He leaves me wanting more! Camacho nails it! She is amazing and her integrity comes through beautifully.

I will be watching all season! I do hope that the pacing picks up, that's the negative but it's the first 3 shows and I look forward to see where it goes.

The show so far seems pretty good, lots of action. Couple actors seem to be trying too hard, it's a new show though, perhaps they'll adjust into their character as it progresses. Ackles, however, fits into the plot like a glove on Mantle. They definitely went pretty darn hard on the soundtrack though lol. Couple times maybe juuuuuuust a bit too hard throwing in some hard rock to Amp the scene. Still has a good feel, but could definitely do with maybe just a tad bit of backing off the heavy/loud music occasionally. As long as the show stays with the story, action and drama and AWAY from the political agendas which Hollywood seems to try to force into everything they make now, then I think it'll continue to grow into a great series.

Don't recommend watching it on Amazon Prime (unless this is the only way, haven't checked that.) WAY too many ads/commercials!

I was hoping for a 24 type vibe for this show and what it is is more NCIS. Eric Dane and Jensen Ackles put in great believable performances but im not sold on some of the other performances or the chemistry between Ackles and Camacho the female lead,shes a little bit wooden and I can see the acting on her face, shes not the only one and It's hard to get lost in the show while your watching. I like shows like Criminal minds etc so if your a fan of those I think you'll like this. I'm only a few episodes in and invested to see where its going to go. The script is a bit cliché so im hoping it doesn't get totally ridiculous as can sometimes happen.

Only seen two episodes but it's a good start. Good acting and interesting storyline so far. My only issue is with the character that has had an untreated glioblastoma for 9 months. They wouldn't have lived for that long with it untreated and they would have a lot more symptoms and be unable to work. I get it's a TV show but this bit is just way too unrealistic for me (speaking from experience as a close family member had a glioblastoma). I know this is a dumb thing to focus on but it annoys me because they clearly didn't do their research and just pulled a diagnosis that would sound " good and extreme."
