Tale
CIA operative Joe tries to balance his personal and professional lives as the spearhead of the agency’s war on terror. Real-life military advisors helped produce more authentic gun handling, house clearing, location and team-based action, etc… Best New Show, after the disappointing 4th season of Jack Ryan and the lackluster performances all around, this felt much better in every way.
Great acting from everyone
It looks really well made and the action/fight scenes look great. I think most of the criticism of this show in the comments section seems to boil down to how unrealistic it is because of the whole female operative thing, and I, as a man, don’t care for a good female-led action show. It’s the original IP that doesn’t change a male lead to a female lead.
I also haven’t seen any red flags so far that make every guy look incompetent or anything like that
At first I also thought it was going to be more of an action-first no-nonsense show, but then they kind of pigeonholed the family and I’m generally a little creeped out by that, but I didn’t like what they did there. The criticism is that the plot of what this particular group of operators do is very story-limiting and might kill it as it moves past the plot/villain of the season… needs to be more comprehensive, so they could possibly do another more action-intensive fast-paced Homeland, otherwise it might become too episodic like BlacklistPS: So far Nicole Kidman’s part has been incredibly small and uneventful, and could have been done by anyone else…
Zaldana without the other A-Listers
We’ll see what the awesome Morgan Freeman brings to the show… But from what I’ve seen so far, the show could hold its own. TLDR Overall cautiously optimistic, but I like what I’ve seen so far, everything is incredibly cool and well done.
