Went into this without reading any reviews or watching the trailer, only knowing that it's a crazy action series with Shelley Henig and Nick Zano. I liked both of them as actors from previous roles... but after watching this I'm gonna think twice about watching anything with them.

I can't believe Nick Zano promoted this on his social media when he's a father of two.... and what did his wife think of all the unnecessary nudity?? The gratuitous nudity and all the other debased and disgusting scenes completely ruined this show. The plot was not good enough to raise it from the slop pit the writers created. Only good thing was that Ava & McKnight started to care about each other by the end. But I still won't watch a season 2, if they make one.

Save your time and watch Fubar, The Night Agent or The Recruit.

This was sooo boring. The leading lady was not cheerful - maybe that was the plot but she totally looked like she didn't want to be in this movie. And the leading man, oh boy, he was so emotionless. The plot makes no sense either - it's like now they've thrown a bunch of Christmas cliches in a hat, pick a couple and make a movie out of them, doesn't matter if they go together or not.

There was no chemistry between the other characters either, like the couple that was supposed to be married at the B&B. In what world does a rich girl (with such a pretentious mother) marry a guy that's shorter than her?

Overall, boring and cheerless.

Just finished the 3rd episode and honestly, my excitement bubble is deflating even more. I'm guessing most everyone started watching this for Winter Soldier and wanted to know how he's going to deal with PTSD, but the writers/directors ruined that with the awkward psychologist and all her talking telling us what's wrong with Bucky instead of showing, and you know, actually letting Sebastian act!

And the dialogue! Oh my god the dialogue is so cringy! It's like they got new writers in here that don't know the shorthand these characters have developed over the last 10 years! The only highlight of each episode is the action, and that is very sparse. I thought Marvel promised us big budget action and that's why we're only getting 6 episodes. There's more action in a CBS procedural!

Overall, kinda disappointed. From the previews (that higlighted most of the action) you'd think this is an action show but I don't know what they're trying to do here. A "realistic" look at everyday life after The Blip? Who the heck wants that when we had 2020?! And Bucky & Sam will never be "normal" people so making him go to a bank for a loan is ridiculous. Also, with all the racial drama it seems like the writers are trying to make our world collide with the Marvel universe, but this is not a CBS procedural! Who thinks a universe with aliens, androids and sorcerers would have the same problems we do?

So far, this just doesn't feel like a Marvel product. Even WandaVision's craziness felt more like Marvel! I really hope this gets better (that is, that the writers found their groove before the last episode) and be a worthy entry into the Marvel universe.
