A little tacky, but big guy beats up other guys is perfectly fine television.

strong series with good action and fight scenes, the intricate story also makes you look forward to the next episode.

It's a bit monotonous at times, and nothing really inventive exists in it. BUT the characters are likeable and it is often fun to see a big guy run around just beating the shit out of everything.

The whole thing feels like that one bicep handshake scene from Predator. Which is fun... The guy talking about the return of the 'strong male character' can eat a d--k, though

Not the prestige television show it wants to be. Everything feels phony the way Lifetime movies do, but like the best lifetime movie ever. The dialogue sounds like DIALOGUE, the music and cinematography could not be more generic, and the supporting characters all feel like actors playing dress-up. I can't tell if Ritchson is a good actor or not, he's very one-note, but I think that's just the character. He fits the part way better than Cruise at least. Lightly enjoyably regardless.

Everything about it feels fundamentally “been there done that” - the way the investigation plays out, mystery in a small town, the bruiser vs lots of dudes fight scenes. Nothing badly executed exactly, just all very “yep, seen this a thousand times.”

Amazon seems satisfied with churning out action shows seemingly molded from the 90s action movie playbook, and god knows this one clings to every conceivable cliche the genre offers like scripture, but there's just enough selfawareness and humor to make it watchable.

entertaining enough. ez watching action/dectective-thriller. but kinda mediocre. characters are bit weird. cast is a bit soso. some lines are bit awkward.

Paint-by-numbers Rambo meets paint-by-numbers Sherlock Holmes, which is kinda fun, but ultimately boring because it's so painfully predictable. Have not watched beyond season one, feels like it's going to go into infinite loop mode until the audience ultimately dwindles.
