US: Taken TV Series

[Swifty55]

A young Bryan Mills must fight to overcome personal tragedy and exact revenge on those responsible in this modern-day origin story to the "Taken" film trilogy. Still reeling from the devastating murder of his younger sister, Mills is quickly recruited by Christina Hart -- the leader of a covert CIA operation -- to work on her team. The job awakens a very particular -- and very dangerous -- set of skills in the former Green Beret. As Mills struggles to heal, he finds himself growing closer to Asha, his sister's friend.

Anyone watched this yet?

Watched a couple of episodes so far, and thoroughly enjoying it.

 

[Malevolence]

Yeah, it's a decent watch. Plenty of action and violence.

It's also good to see Jennifer Beals looking damn good for 53.

 

[Clarkson]

Watching it but don't find him the best of actors, although he wasn't/isn't too bad as rollo in Vikings. All seems a bit forced also, but it's a fairly easy detach-the-brain watch I suppose.

I'm enjoying it and it's much better than I expected it to be, finding it much better than the films.

Nah, this is just another low budget per-episode short arc cops + magical sidekick setup. Complete with deliver-solution-under-10-seconds "high tech" and "enhance" interfaces. I honestly don't understand why they need film franchise licenses for these things - it has completely nothing to do with Liam Neeson's offspring being kidnapped and doesn't utilise a single plot point of the original movies. You could call it Commando or Rambo or Under Siege prequel and it would work just the same - some guy in unrelated to the original movie environment venting off by punching baddies for the government "off the books" grey ops.
