I enjoyed it. Some good action, easy to follow.

I liked it. I think he is like some kind of action hero figure. But I saw the shooting of his wife coming as soon as I heard breaking glass.

 

[teachsac]

Well, the premise of the show is finding his wife's murderer.

I had commented to my wife during her introduction that they were quickly creating her backstory. It felt rushed and odd, but when she was killed off a few minutes later, it was obvious why they spent so little effort to create her character their relationship story. But was she killed? Unfortunately, I think we will be subjected to endless flashbacks to further build the back story.

I'll give it a few more episodes, but it felt like I had watched the episode before on Person of Interest. Wesley Snipes character is cartoonish and I'm lost if I'm watching a Marvel or enhanced reality series.

Watched the first two episodes last night and I'm pleasantly surprised. I wasn't expecting much but the show is entertaining. Reminds me of Scorpion, implausible but entertaining.

That has been my conclusion too.

It reminds me of Secrete Agent Man. He is acting like a action hero doing all the stunts and shooting etc. I like it but is pure escapism tv.
