Jean-Claude Van Johnson

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.

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.

Honestly, I am a harsh film critic and find the writing to always be the worst thing about films. But, the writing of this show is top notch. It blew me away and is far better than any other show i have watched from amazon probably all the network and cable shows. The irony is great and I believe I laughed out loud in every episode; let me tell you, it is very hard to get more than a chuckle out of me. The wit here is almost flawless. The execution of the edits and the direction are so well done. And the dialogue is mostly fantastic with perfect satire and pastiche while creating a truly emotional finale that is well built and hard earned and unexpected. Not to mention the perfect tightrope of sincerity walked by the actors who all deliver confidently and robustly, as though it were a big budget affair. You wouldnt know some of them arent star actors . Truly.

Amazon is CRAZY to cancel this gem. They have so many insultingly garbage shows with bad acting and worse writing that get slapped together for second and third seasons. Thank god jcvd season 1 is so well written and planned that it works as a standalone without need for season 2.

Amazon, shame on you for torching this fine piece of sincere emotional comedic satire. It is the only show you have that delivers. And it never resorts to filler. I cant say enough about this show. I love it.

I just came across this show and am so disappointed to watch it through with only one season to it.

I never was big on the 80s/90s action movies. I didn't dislike or like Jean Claude Van Damme but I never watched much of what he was in because I'm not into movies like what he used to do.

I haven't laughed so hard in a long time. The way all the inside jokes are done was just awesome. Even I got most of them not having actually watched most of his previous movies but just was familar with them. I don't laugh at self depreciating comedy. There's a huge difference between self depreciation and poking fun at oneself that many don't understand. I felt this show understood and did it well.

Beyond the comedy was lots of action for others that enjoy that. I actually enjoy the action in this because it doesn't take itself too seriously and I really enjoyed that too. Then a few really deep, emotional moments that I actually cried over.

I'm trying to be vague to not give any spoilers, but I just think everyone should watch this show. It had minimal issues that I saw, and is very sad that it got cancelled without a chance to get even better. It is sad how many other really crappy shows get 6, 7, 8, + seasons and the masses love them when they are garbage, yet a truly good show can't even get a 2nd season.

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
