What would make it better?


It's not very good. The only reason I watch is because my wife inexplicably likes it. About the only thing I like are the action scenes but even those are dumb. Like shooting a pistol accurately from a moving boat. Even shows like Z Nation are more realistic. And the family drama is always so-- excessive like a kid's movie. Is this show salvageable?

I've not been enjoying the second season, and the show of late has been especially annoying. The action scenes, which used to be pretty good, are pretty by the numbers shoot em up with characters just jumping behind stuff while the special effects boys blow it up. Lots of lazy sequences set to pop songs. This tired as hell drama with Riggs and this family and his dad. The fresh take appeal of the show has worn off and it's hasn't developed its own sand yet. I don't know what would make it better.

the chemistry between the leads makes this "must-watch TV" for the late 2010s

reply

I don't think they have chemistry and Riggs is cartoonishly over the top and dumb, and it makes everyone else in the show dumb for putting up with him.
