I find it really enjoyable because they don't take it seriously. The chemistry between Welling & Fraser is great, the Europol guy is funny, the cartoonish evil siblings are the perfect villains in this combination. I would never watch it if it was a serious show. It reminds me of the 80s, like A-Team and some of those movies back then.

It has Brendan Frazer's charm and enthusiasm, and Tom Welling's beautiful face, so I enjoyed it. Is it flat in spots and a bit predictable. Sure! Is it great TV, no, but it is definitely a fun watch. Lots of action, some trite dialogue and the back ground music is OTT on occasions but the story is good, there are some good plot twists, and the premise is rather cool. Don't know why so many have rated it so badly, as it is a nice enough show to veg out too and there is certainly always room for Brendan Frazer's goofy charm.

I say this after watching the whole season 1 in one go. Let's be honest, the pilot is terrible. But it's a pilot so we give it a discount. It gets better but it's all on Fraser and Welling. They find their footing halfway through the show and their chemistry works. The secondary cast is weak, dialogs sounds forced and storytelling gets a bit confusing at times. Better or more experienced actors could have improved the bad writing. But it's watchable, some gripping moments and laughs and it has potential for season two. It's no Strike Back even with the strong resemblance but it entertains. ...

It is a good watch Nothing is over the top or under it It is easy to follow and understand and plenty on action and mystery.

If there is more season's to come I am sure it would be good.

Just watch 1st episode and so far I like it! It sort of clumsy multibillionaire business couple hiring a group of independent group of military mercenaries with special skills. It like a personal private CIA agency operation that is being run so far by the multibillionaire business couple. They go on a mission to find stuff and hunt for information. Use high tech gear for their investigation. Money to open doors. It an adventure, espionage, action, detective drama, comedy.

I chuckle at all the interaction between the team. I am in love the blonde lady mercenary. Will continue to watch this series because it is different.
