XIII: The Series

No review except, Great Movie and can't wait for season 3.

having watch the first two episodes (mini series) back in 2008 i was thrilled to learn that they actually did give a chance to "resurrect" xiii, as they gave us a lead-in in the final 2 minutes back then.

my hopes for a decent spy/advntr series died after the first episode and i quit trying to find a bit of interest in the first 20 minutes of the second one. Then, i just closed the "chapter" and delete it from my watch-list.

awful "resurrection" of a well promised two episodes "pilot", terrible action, and most of all, it was more predictable than a two years' child's effort to sing Pavarotti...

I'm a French speaking guy, and I have the whole comic series of XIII in French (!) and the scenario was just great (comic speaking) So I watched the 2 first episodes, and they were very good, loved them ! THen I watched the first series(s?) , that even if it was not very following the original script was good as well. But when I started looking at series 2, I was so disappointed ! First it has nothing to do with the books whatsoever, the characters are totally different, even from the 1st series, and like some other reviewer said, some of the acting is very bad. So I would put a 8 for the 1st series, and a 2 for the second. It looks like they had to come out with something to continue the series, and they had no idea whatsoever. I stopped watching after 2 episodes. So unbelievable. One can smell the $$$ that needed to be made after a good 1st one.... :-(

Season 2 completely falls off the plot completely from season 1 only same actors and to be honest somethings can't even begin to understand. Not worth the time for the season 2. Looks like a very cheap production and writing in the second season.

Bad acting from the cast - wow ! Really bad acting -- The Make up artists - OMG - Wow - ?? Bad Cuts to fake blood and spill packs and wow just really really bad ?? How can this sow get good reviews , well the accurate attention to detail from GETAC Computers to Nikola Tesla and the history of the writing seems to be nice, the Acting from Most of the main characters are good !! But the casts, but the bad acting from the cast is really bad - and so is some of the camera angles in some shows , almost like they are trying to copy other directors , ?? mmmmm Save money on casting, save money on Make up , but spend tons on Getac computers and other items in the show -- ??? I am sorry but after the 9th show it gets bad , really stretching this thing... well I do fast forward now thanks to Netflix if I did not have the fast forward button I sure would hit the OFF switch thats for sure !!
