Almost Paradise

I've been a fan of Christian Kane since Leverage and Second Hand Lions. This series is very refreshing. I wish I could see in person those scenery. The action is not bad. Recommended.

An easy watch for the family that provides some good light entertainment. The plots are fairly predictable and provide a nice balance of comedy and action. I look forward to watching the next season and really enjoyed the unusual landscapes and scenery of the Philippines.

I never understand people who rate movies based on reality versus expected. No, this show isn't realistic (the American airbase closed 10 years ago and guns aren't played with in PI like they are in the USA)

But it's fun and the lead character Christian Kane is extraordinary. And the detective chick is hot (mama the bikini scene!), the sidekick is a martial arts guru, and the scenery is beautiful. It's a silly little show but succeeds wildly as enjoyable, even if completely unbelievable.

Almost Paradise sneaked in with Christian Kane as strangely over heated ex DEA agent trying to retire and relax in Philippines, but called back to action by local law enforcement. Nothing new, the formula works. It's fun, no brainer, which is what a TV action series supposed to be.

For action fans, good series to recommend. For those searching for serious storylines and deep thoughts, don't watch this. It's a Dean Devlin produced series, it's fun, period.

The first episode was a little too dramatic but by episode 3 it settles in and has some really good episodes.
