Taken

An enjoyable show if you take it for what it is and don't overthink or try to view it as the same as the movie series. Basically it is the same character, but the earlier life and is not in parallel with the movies. I'm half way through the second season and it's quite enjoyable week to week.

I'm hoping they continue the series as it is quite enjoyable.

This show has action but the same thing all the other action shows have these days. Mills gets his a$$ handed to him every episode, a car chase, a foot race, some fire and lots of crying. Same old antagonists with pointless actions making ridiculous decisions. Old school entertainment. Writers from the same school, same professors that educated their teachers decades ago, with the same idea of what makes a good action story.

It's as if Hollywood is owned and run by a large group of folks with the same values and beliefs, hiring only friends and relatives.

I would like to see something fresh, that stays fresh and doesn't turn into a melodrama in the second season. JMHO

Not really sure why people are saying "more of the same". I have only watched a few episodes but find it well above average in general. A few "tech" issues like how the gov't group can constantly hear all his conversations. Maybe missed them planting bugs in every location he will be in the future? Also, as someone who has followed people in a vehicle for a living, the good and bad guys do a lousy job. You use multiple vehicles, usually something like a Toyota Corolla, not a big van, and one vehicle falls off and another takes it's place every few blocks. But this is TV, not real life so will give them pass on that. Worth watching.

First episode was good but then things started to fall about with the dialogue and endless slip ups by the crack team. I began to feel sorry for Clive and Jennifer being associated with the show. It's a poor mans Blacklist.

I was kinda eager to check out how Brian got where he is in the movie. BUT That's not what the show is about at all, or the producers/writers never heard about ANACHRONISM... The deceptive title is mostly marketing bullshit to keep banking on a license probably dead without any future Liam's participation.

That being said, it is a pretty decent show so far (ep5). To be recommended to those who like spy/action shows.
