Agent X

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.

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

To start, I'm not too sure what program the low reviewers are actually watching. I find Agent X great to watch, it's not hard to watch either which I find nice after a long day working but that's not to say its something to switch your brain off either! The story is fairly simple but it is not boring, every episode has Agent X trying to stop another bad guy/girl and you feel the story expanding and other people coming from the woodwork. The actors are all fun to watch and as for the chemistry, in theory they have just met each other!! You find yourself wanting to know more about the characters. I am enjoying this series and I really hope there is another one.

Question. If you spend 40 minutes of your life watching a show, then spend another 40 minutes writing a review about how your not going to get those 40 minutes of your life back. Have you then lost 80 minutes and should you have cut your loses?

Sharons obviously broke (and does have form on some dubious material) but that doesn't excuse this.

It also doesn't excuse anyone watching it from their guilt: You read the cast list, you read the plot synopsis you likely saw the trailer and you saw the channel it was on.

Be honest, did you really expect Sherlock?

Well then, don't blame the broke girl - its all your fault
