Taken US-Pace-NBC (**Spoilers**)

Agent Coulson

Starts tonight in the States and is the next of the current trend of films being remade into tv series.

Mr E

That punch at 0m50s totally missed.

Looks good though.

he screwed ragnar too many times I don't trust him

Agent Coulson

I must say I really enjoyed that and bonus points for having Jennifer Beals in it.


Glad they followed a different route than films as well this might just be a fun series if the pilot is anything to go by.

If you go in with REALLY low expectations its actually quite good. If you think its going to be a Liam Neeson copy, remember budgets are very different.

Personally I dont think this 'Bryan Mills' can pull it off but sure I have no life anyway so will continue with it for a while!

Mr E

Solid second episode too, despite some clunky dialogue in places.

Occono

Seems to be on Prime Video here for the non-pirates.

.....which is not yet on the Irish Prime Video service, of course. Any day now, Amazon.

Mr E

This finished on Monday night. Very good finale and decent series overall. Standen did a decent job as Bryan Mills - you could definitely see a bit of Liam Neeson in him.

If you're wondering, the season is self-contained with a minor cliffhanger for a second season (if there is one).

And yes, the finale did have the inevitable "I will find you" phone call.

Agent Coulson

Yup I enjoyed the series as a whole but I don't see it getting renewed.

Agent Coulson

Renewed for a 16 episode 2nd season.

Agent Coulson

As long as Jennifer Beals stays on I'm ok with the change over of cast.

Agent Coulson

Adam Goldberg joins the cast a series regular.

Agent Coulson

Season 2 starts Friday January 12th.

Agent Coulson

Returns on the 12th

Agent Coulson

That was a decent reboot and explaining why the season 1 cast members aren't back.

Some great action as well.

Agent Coulson

A good action packeted episode setting up what looks like the season long arc.

Agent Coulson

Cancelled but being shopped elsewhere.

Mr E

It has been a terrific season so far. Great ensemble cast and Tahmoh Penikett is a great villain.

I hope someone else picks it up. On Starz or Netflix, they could make it a lot grittier.

Agent Coulson

A great episode this week leading into the show's finale episode next week.


I really hope they give a closure to the series and don't leave a cliffhanger.

JP Liz V1

Just started now on RTE 2

Agent Coulson

Good end to a fun series sad to see it go as I think it had legs to go for a few more seasons.


Closure to the main storyline and a thread left open if it was renewed or picked up somewhere else.

Just watched the final episode, definitely one that could have gone on for a couple of more seasons and still been watchable. It's one of the few shows I watch that have been canceled recently that I'll miss.
