Agent X

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.

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.

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

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

The biggest secret in the history of the United States (!!) is that the vice president has ...one (yes only one) agent (!) to send for secret missions! I really can't imagine what might be the ...smallest secret in the history of the United States!!!

Anyway the secret agent has no ...identity while his name is ...John Case! and his first mission (with the current vice president played by Sharon Stone) is to find another man with ...no identity (!) whose name is Nicolas Volker!

Soooo...the plot is ludicrous, just an excuse for a new 007-ish agent with all the skills and some of the witt of his British colleague.

This is not a series to take seriously and the question is if it is fun to watch. Well, This is a genre we have seen a million times. If some producers decided to produce such a series, they must surpass previous installments. Unfortunately this is not the case here. Even with a secret agent named ...Case.
