If you are not looking for a deep storyline and just want honest-to-goodness and shamelessly shallow action, you'll like this series. It does not apologize for being "standard", "cliché", or any other derogatory epithet thrown at it. It's just a straight-up, old-fashioned "good guy kicks ass and gets the girl" kind of show. And that's perfectly OK with me. At the end of a day working hard and studying hard or even on a lazy day-off, I don't necessarily want deep plots and Shakespearean epics, I just want brain-dead, no-holds-barred entertainment of the action and suspense genre. And the transporter delivers (pun very much intended)! Heck, just the hot babes and bad girls are well worth the price of admission! :-)

This show is far and away the most riveting and powerful television I've watched in a long, long time. Nothing in recent years comes even close, not American Horror Story, Arrow, Hannibal, Dracula, or Breaking Bad or ... I watched the whole first season marathon-style in less than twenty-four hours even what with having to carry on the usual work and family time stuff. It's just that good.

For a mature viewer such as myself, this show spoke to me on so many levels with so many subtle nuances that I had to constantly pause the show to catch my breath. Tatiana Maslaney and Jordan Garvaris are unbelievable actors - their acting was just mind-boggling. Even the small nit-picky gaffes in some of the police procedure "facts" were easy to ignore because the story was just so compelling.

My mind is still reeling from it. Tatiana Maslaney, we love you!! You, too, Jordan Gavaris, even though we're not supposed to, but dude, you killed it right along with your 'sister', Tatiana!

Viewers, just do yourselves a favor, watch this series, and prepare to have your mind officially blown away. 'Nuff said.
