If you have read any books by Matthew Reilly, he is behind this show. His books are cheesy, over the top and super violent (and most importantly great fun). I've read most of his books - about 15 I'd say.

He has directed and written this - if he can translate the energy of his writing into a good movie, I wouldn't be quick to rule this out from being good.

I'd love to see some of his other books being made into TV shows/movies, so I hope this opens the door.

Would like to recommend prison drama Il Marginal (5 series) set in Argentine prison, gripping and thoroughly watchable although not for the squeamish. Plenty of humour and pathos.

In stark contrast with above, also recommend the Andy Warhol diaries. As documentaries go, it had depth and a wide range of insights into character and life in general, into New York, Aids, the art world, complexity of the human condition and love. Not for the phone twitchers and short of attention spanners. Great backing music and interviews with wide variety of people who's lives were touched in some way with Warhol.

Just finished both seasons of The Missing which was recommended on this thread. It was a great shout, really good crime drama, both series are based on different storylines about children who go missing and the families/detectives efforts to find out what happened to them years later. One of those shows that was hard to turn off.
