Amazing 1st Episode
22 September 2023
I watched the first episode of the show, it felt like a no-brainer watching this series given how massive of a John Wick fan I am. The series doesn't disappoint, from the start you see glimpse of the cinematic themes and touches of John Wick all over it, and in spectacular fashion! It has more elements of black comedy as well, which meshed in perfectly to lighten up the mood. The characters are amazing, specifically Clinton (who plays Winston), and Mel Gibson (who plays Carmac), Mel especially excels in his role, with a subtle yet confident delivery of his lines that feels natural to him, his casting was excellent and it threw me back to his great 1999 film "Payback". Overall, the series seems very promising, and got me hooked instantly. I look forward to watching the rest of the episodes.

Note: many critics gave this a low score based on the industry's cancellation of Mel Gibson's career. Mel was fantastic here, and I wouldn't cast anyone in his place. Watch this series, it's really good.
