Agent X

Some people should lighten up. It is a story, not factual so if it is far-fetched - so what. If you don't like the idea behind the story, don't watch it. I like Gerald McRaney and enjoy watching him in just about any role. Jeff Hephner used to be on Chicago Fire. The thing I was surprised at was the mistake in the scenes in the hotel room during the first few minutes. John shot the man in the white robe in the left shoulder. When they were fighting by the window the blood was on the left shoulder but when they were fighting outside, the blood was on the right shoulder. Not very good to miss something that obvious. They need someone to watch for those types of errors.

I was waiting a action season like this. First the pilot , Sharon and Geff did a superb performance. The plot is so real and very addictive. Sharon role as the vice president of America is very powerful and sensitive. So far she is has done a superb role relevant to her vast experience in acting. I am doing sure if Geff had acted before , but he also put a good show.Olga character is very sharp , skillful. She looks like she did her homework and her given role was wasn't easy too. Anyway the timing for the show was over 40 minutes which is fine and each scene a surprise element. Good going guys.All the best

I enjoyed the first 7 or so episodes - entertaining, and most importantly FUN to watch. A nice break from the 'ever so gritty' style of more or less every other action series.

Sure, it's a semi-believable premise if you analyse it, but the point is not to analyse it. If you analysed James Bond, the whole idea is ludicrous, but it's still great.

Unfortunately, the believably really stretches in episodes 9 and 10. I found my self saying 'what?! that's ridiculous!' on more than one occasion, to the point of cringing. By the end of episode 10 I was playing with my phone instead. They lost me.

The other thing that went missing was the fun. By trying to be 'more gritty' in the later episodes, they lost the point. I'm sick to death of 'gritty TV'. The reason I liked this is because it had humour and warmth in it amongst the explosions and fight scenes. Is nobody else just utterly bored by long humourless fight scenes?

Might watch the next series but only for long enough to see if they've learned their lessons or not.

I like Agent X. It reminds me of other shows like Person of Interest, Human Target, The Player and Missing. It's just a fun show and easy to watch. The acting is good and the characters are very likable. The premise of the story is of a covert Government agency that is overseen by the US Veep and it's sole "Super" operative known as Agent X.

Each episode involves the team discovering a new plot against the US and Agent X is dispatched to thwart it by the end of the show. This usually involves him doing some serious butt kicking action that Jason Bourne would be proud of, and most of the time a damsel in distress that needs to be saved. There is also a through plot story line that involves the mysterious Nicholas Volker and his nefarious plans of dastardly deeds that the Agent X team seem unable to decipher. Until the end and then there is a good reel 6 plot twist just when you think the day has been saved. I won't say anymore than that as it will spoil the fun.

So what do I think is wrong about this show? Nothing. Okay it's not exactly Game of Thrones good. But sometimes I like to switch my brain off and just enjoy the ride.

Im writing in support of Jeff Hephner.. Olga Fonda and Gerald McRaney.. they act just fine.. they come across as likable and watchable in the series.. i think we should give these actors a chance because they are not the problem..

the problem is Sharon Stone.. She overacts.. and if she is the executive producer i am not sure how much she was involved in the show turning out the way it did..

Do not get me wrong.. she may be a really nice lady in RL i do not know but commenting about the series i get this irksome feeling when watching the show that somehow its all about Sharon Stone herself and not really about Agent X.. which is a shame..

it also annoys me that a number of scenes that she is in there are those special filters or wotcha might call it to soften her age lines.. something feels off because its an action video for goodness sake and not some social event that we are trying to capture the moment of with a filtered photo ..

Sorry Agent X.. to give this series a chance you guys gotta decide if this show belongs to Agent X or is this just a vehicle for Stone to promote herself..
