    I watched that.  The only thing I tend to take notice of is hollywood 400 round magazines and obvious sound effects that were dubbed in after the fact.  I was watching one movie where they dubbed in the sound of a hammer being cocked and the guy was holding a glock.  Now THAT was funny!

    The shows plot is put together nicely, some good actors, and lots of action. Definitely worth watching. +1

    It's bad.
     
    It's incredibly PC to the point my eyeball almost came out of it's socket after the umpteenth time I rolled my eyes.

    It's a show. They're not out to make it 100% correct, they're out for people to be entertained.
     
     
     
    The show got me hooked, Watched it all in 2 days. Can't wait for Season 2.

    Still, better writing would make a decent show great. I doubt I'll watch the 2nd season...

    I watched the first episode..... it's ok.   I'll try 1 or 2 more before fully deciding., but it is definitely missing that Tom Clancy writing flair.

    Wow. You guys are harsh critics. I thought it was entertaining. Of course it was a bit hammy, but the cinematography and location shooting was beautiful, the plot - although fairly obvious - kept moving, the acting was on the whole pretty good. I will be excited to see Season 2.
     
    Meanwhile, if you haven't watched it already, Season 1 of Billy Bob Thornton's Goliath was an excellent Amazon production too. Season 2 was decent, albeit not as interesting as the first.

    Science has not accomplished this as of now.  One day there may be too many boobs and butts but not quite yet.

    It's a decent show so far, i haven't watched all the episodes yet. The best part is ZERO commercial interruptions.
