It starts off well enough. We get a fun action set piece then get introduced to our leading man Winston Scott played by Colin Woodell. Based on the trailers, he seemed quite generic, but after his 2nd scene I quite liked his confident self-assured demeaner.
Unfortunately, the show decided we needed a huge supporting cast (even though its only a 3 episode series), so for the next say 60 minutes, we're introduced ad nauseum to character after character. The female cop was ok, but the rag tag team of sidekicks were super annoying. I was expecting some fun Blaxploitation type characters (think Quentin Tarantino's Jackie Brown for a newer film on the classic subgenre), but instead all they do in whine and complain for every scene they're in.
After all that, I was just hoping for a fun end of episode battle for our leading man. But no, a random Asian female gets that privilege instead, and then the episode ends. What a stinker.
I'll stick around in the hope it gets better. Like I said, it is only 3 episodes, but my expectations have dropped drastically.
