Jean-Claude Van Johnson

Very tightly written; lots of in-jokes, a parody in each episode of something Mr. Van Damme has ever been in (made all the better by he joining in with gusto.)

Each episode is very nearly its own action-movie, with shootouts, kicks, punches, and kung-fu-theater cliches, lovingly rendered and expertly done. Van Damme's acting is extremely good -- from slapstick, to tragedy, to simple world-weariness, to hopeless romantic, to tough-guy, and occasionally to characters (notably 'Filipe' in episode 4) that should be simply awful, but nevertheless, somehow, work.

Give it a try; you might be pleasantly surprised.

Dear Amazon Video,

This (like "the legend of master legend") is a truly original production. Please don't screw this up. First of all, note the great successes of your competition (Netflix, Hulu). With productions like "Stranger Things," "11.22.63," and "Sense8," bringing back an actor with the reputation of JCVD is a great step forward for you. Even more, blending the roles between actor and character is a very ingenious concept.

For the sake of retaining viewers, please give timely updates to when (or "if") your massive quantity of original productions will continue or be scrapped. Until I read the first review here on IMDb, I though this great concept (like many others) was scrapped in favor of unoriginal works (such as "The Tick" or "Good Girls Revolt") blatantly targeted for a specific viewer demographics.

It's a relief to know that this series will resume airing 12.15.2017. Please make this announcement official.

Thank you

So heartbroken that there are not more episodes or season two. I loved this show and so did my son. It was great on how he made fun of himself.

I was surprised at how good this actually was. Good on JC for being able to poke fun at himself and the entire genre of his movies.

I'll keep this spoiler-free, but whether you're a Jean-Claude Van Damme fan or not, you're in for a good time. It's labeled as a series, not a movie, but after that first episode, you'll be eagerly awaiting the next. It's top-notch! This is the JCVD we all know and love-no need for a "fighting" Van Damme, just a hilarious, entertaining one.

This review is for Episode 1. I'll update it once Episode 2 drops (looks like December 15th-we've waited long enough, right?).

9/10.
