I like the Thief chick. She's cool. she just needs a few more episodes so the writers can see what she can do. I do NOT like the rich boss chick. She's annoying as hell. She always wants shit done the right way, yet, everything they have ever done is for a good purpose but none of it is right!
YEs, Jackie Earl Haley ****ing kicks ass in his role. Glad to see he's getting chances to earn some money now days. He also played a kick ass Freddy in the new Nightmare movie. |

Not a big fan of the changes to this show.
In it's first season, it felt like an Indiana Jones meets A Team type of series. Great "motion picture" style scoring from Bear McCreary, intrigue and mystery behind the main characters and some kickass fight and action sequences. Well, they fired the old show runner and put the guy the that runs "Chuck" in charge. They replaced Bear's great scoring with the guy that does "Chuck" and the new theme sounds like a bad garage band (as does most of the score). They're revealing too much information about the cast's past and they're wrapping up storylines too quickly in order to get more screen time for the new female co-stars. In essence, they've ruined what was once great and fairly unique about this show and have homogenized it to the point where, IMO, it's barely watchable. |

I like the show. The lead is solid, the supporting guys are funny and certainly different, and they've added some titties to the show. Between this show and "Burn Notice", anyone else trying to put on a spy-type show should just not bother.

I've enjoyed season two so far but definitely don't like that they abandoned the previous seasons plot. The boss chick, I thought, would be a good addition but she is more of an annoyance now. I do like the younger girl they added to the cast as she is an interesting character.
Now, the new music of the show just plain stinks though. Why the hell change what was working?

I think adding the rich widow was necessary if they wanted to justify expanding the stories into more expensive operations. My one problem with Indira Varma's character is I was hoping she would be written as smarter and more serious boss. As it is her ditzy (sp) act is a bit annoying.
BTW, who did the intro graphics? It's excellent IMO and he/she should do Bond movies. |

This show has quickly moved up into my top 5.
I can't believe they are putting this up against Chuck on the 31st though. I would think McG would have a serious objection to that.

I like the show because it does not tell us to take it that seriously. It's today's version of the escapist action shows of the 60s and the 70s. Lots of loose and lucky coincidences that in a more serious show I would not accept.
That said, the first show of the season had a bit too much of those happy coincidences. The worst was when the shoulder mounted rocket accidentally but neatly passed through the airplane door, not causing any damage to the jet. It was like COME OOOON! If they start writing more scenes like that into the show it'll jump the shark sooner than you think. And that would be a shame. |

Enjoying the second season so far.
As for the two new additions: I would like to be the meat in that Actress Sandwich. ![]() |

Jackie is the best character on the show. I loved the 2nd episode they recently had in the double episodes. Dude plays his character so well and he's so just off the wall. I love this show.
Like people have said, this show is just mean for pure fun. |
