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.

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

I see a lot of people giving this show such a bad rap I almost didn't watch it but after getting bored, I watched the first three episodes tonight and it's a lot better than most of the crap out there. Forget the show is called Taken because it has nothing to do with Liam or the movies. Should be called Shadow Team 5 or what ever and yes, it's been done 50 dozen times. Secret ops group within the US government is to take down all the bad guys. I am over 50 and track a LOT of TV shows and most don't make past 30 minutes with me these days but this one has potential but is also very comparable to Lethal Weapon or Shooter or Homeland or Blacklist or any other secret FBI CIA secret ops type shows. So if you liked those, then you will probably like this.

As for me I will keep watching for now
