Countdown

This is one of the best shows for a while and I can't fault any of the actors, they all give great performances.

I was really glad the first story was resolved because I hate it when they string you along and then you don't get a proper ending until they make another series, which unfortunately is what they've done with the second story.

The Old cliffhanger trick should be consigned to the past because unfortunately so many shows get cancelled nowadays for various reasons that very often we never get another series so we're left with a terrible unfinished story.

I really hope that doesn't happen here but in this day and age they should complete the story satisfactorily every series just in case they don't make any more.

For this reason I have deducted a point from my score and another point for various plot holes which I won't go into now so as to avoid spoilers.

Ok but of a slow start but it really finds its footing. Very entertaining and enjoyable. Jensen Ackles is always a treat and he seems like he's really having fun with this. Eric Dane is also doing all the right things and looking great doing them. The whole cast is a perfect fit. Give this a watch an enjoy.

I am a huge fan of procedurals or series that have mysteries and then as a result, cases to solve. And an even bigger fan of stories where a band of misfits are bought together to solve it all. When do many different personalities come together, really interesting situations and moments are created.

What hooked me to the show is, that I can see that even though it will solve the main case, it will also form bonds between the team.

I already am loving Mark and Amber's chemistry. That they don't see eye to eye yet and are still forming a team is really interesting.

The cast is really good. Obviously Jensen leads the one as the most effective performer, charismatic, profound, and expressive. And I am further impressed by how well he's carved out Mark as a character. But even the others are great. Waiting for more characters to evolve to speak for others. But very impressed by Jensen, Eric Dane, Jessica Camacho so far.

Ep11 - Majority of Singaporeans speak English! I think the writers were thinking of Indonesian or Malaysian nationals?!

Other than that, I do appreciate the great audio production (mix sounds amazing) and lighting and video work is stellar.

Storyline is rather predictable. However Jensen Ackles makes things entertaining. He's stuck with it since Dark Angel and season after season of Supernatural. That earns him my respect.

Countdown is finally here and it didn't disappoint. There are a million crime dramas that come out every year so one has to stand out for people to watch it and Countdown definitely stands out and is worth your time. There's one reason this stands out over other crime dramas...Jensen Ackles. I've been a big fan of Jensen Ackles ever since he broke out in Supernatural and he's just as terrific here. He's the best thing about this series as he carries it. Theresa only negative is we have to wait a week between episodes, I hate that and much prefer to binge watch the season in a few days. This isn't going to win any awards and it's not some groundbreaking new show but it is very entertaining and I promise you'll have fun watching it. It will keep you engaged with its non stop action and fast paced story.
