Taken

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.

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.

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.

You really gotta give it a chance Clive does a magnificent job and there's a lot of twists and turns throughout the seasons

I just don't understand Hollywood these days. They believe more than even major propagandists in the Soviet Union at its height that propaganda can recreate reality.

It wasn't a secret that Taken, the original film, was wildly popular because it not only was brutal, but honest about a taboo subject in the modern west where thought crimes rule. One thing that cannot be stated in many circles, and is indeed criminal in many places like Canada, is that terrorism is indeed largely associated with Muslim countries.

I knew at some point this series was going to be about "reforming" this supposed defamation of Islam. But come on. The third episode? Involving a plot where US government agents are framing some poor Muslim sap?

At this point in time, where this extreme leftism has been denounced repeatedly in elections and box offices, why does Hollywood continue on this path? It just makes no sense. No one is going to believe this stuff, and all it will do is bolster the opinion of most that Hollywood is a den of liars and perverts (thankfully, the latter is not an issue with this series).

This show won't get a second season, as the kinds of leftists who like to believe in the Great White Defendant simply don't watch shows like this. And most people just don't believe it anymore, and will turn off this kind of nonsense.

If Hollywood wants to reform American opinions of Islam, focus on the daily drone strikes on women and children.
