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.

I'll keep this spoiler-free, but whether you're a Jean-Claude Van Damme fan or not, you're in for a good time. It's labeled as a series, not a movie, but after that first episode, you'll be eagerly awaiting the next. It's top-notch! This is the JCVD we all know and love-no need for a "fighting" Van Damme, just a hilarious, entertaining one.

This review is for Episode 1. I'll update it once Episode 2 drops (looks like December 15th-we've waited long enough, right?).

9/10.

I was surprised at how good this actually was. Good on JC for being able to poke fun at himself and the entire genre of his movies.

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.

This is a pleasantly surprising series.

I was unaware (Until I watched the First episode of JCVD) how much I missed Jean Claude Van Damme. His peculiar style of Martial Arts was what got me mostly through my childhood. And I expected a little more of the stuff from the series, but as I said I was pleasantly surprised because it was more. It was Hilarious at times, swashbuckling with action at some times and very very Heart warming towards the end. All the characters were beautiful and perfectly acted. The Villain is fantastic and probably the most convincing in the role.

Definitely a must watch for all the Van Damme Fans.
