Hyperbolic..maybe. Regardless, once a jointly produced venture between 4 countries, it was cancelled in France and Germany after the first season. Canada and the U. S. couldn't get the hint that the show is simply preposterous.
Averting all logic and common sense , our team of knucklehead negotiators attempt to illegally rescue kidnapped people without alerting authorities each episode. Russia's top ballerinas have been captured, oh what should we do? Let's roll the dice, risk lives and look on the web to find some North American negotiators. I'm sure that's who the Russian Oligarchs would hire or perhaps Ghostbusters.
It's a shame as some of the cast were drafted from 24 and they just needed a better product.

The acting was all over the map. By far, the worst performance by DiCaprio and DeNiro I have ever seen. The onscreen scenes with them varied from awkward to painful. DeNiro is completely out of his element here and DiCaprio keeps modifying the character back and forth throughout. He swings from a dullard like Forrest Gump to being brilliantly manipulative.
The story was fine but it was pointless to be 3.5 hours long except to punish the audience. I don't know how anyone could think this was good acting. I think I could find 50 people at the mall to muster up a better picture.
Save some time for yourself and skip it altogether.
