Contagem Regressiva

Someone mentioned how this reminded them of the show Graceland and I definitely agree because of the joint law enforcement task force. Only thing I didn't like was how the season was set up. One plot ended about halfway through the season and then it started another one and ended on a cliffhanger. Hope it's getting a second season cause that season ending was a big gamble.

Show starts for lack of a better term, awkward. Unsure if that's a writing/acting choice with a new task force coming together, or just clunky. But it's obvious.

Luckily, there is enough substance and intrigue with characters to get you through the first couple of episodes into what I would think is a fairly decent show. At least it had me turning up each week.

The decision to run with E10, is was not my preference and missed the mark. However, I'll count E11 as season 2 and get on with it.

Overall, I think the actors do great, music score and filming is good. But writing could use a writer's room to flesh out some of the dialogue and plot holes. Worth a watch and a season 2. But don't expect brilliance.

This is a good show but don't watch past episode 10, where season one really should have ended. The next 3 episodes are basically a new season/story BUT it abruptly stops at episode 13 with no info on when or if they will finish that story. I don't know what they were thinking but we were mad to be left hanging.

I've been looking forward to Countdown ever since I first saw the trailer for this. I started watching this with my brother the day it came out and we both loved it. It all starts and ends with another strong performance from Jensen Ackles. He plays LAPD detective Mark Meachum, who is recruited to a secret task force with undercover agents from all different types of law enforcement. They're brought together to hunt for a killer who murdered an officer with Homeland Security. As they investigate they find out a plot much worse than one murder victim. From there they have to race against time to save millions of people. There is plenty of action and drama to keep you wanting more. I can't recommend this series enough.

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.
