NOTE: these are my FIRST IMPRESSIONS.
So. When I first see this, I'm like, OK, this might be almost OK. Basically, it's about a guy who sends himself to prison so he can jailbreak his supposedly innocent brother, and there's also some conspiracy or something.
Now, why it sucks (because it does):
The acting is just awful, and the show takes itself SO SERIOUSLY, ALL THE TIME. Film makers, take note:
YOU DON'T NEED GODDAMN SUPER-SERIOUS SPY MUSIC FOR EVERY GODDAMN SECOND OF YOUR FILM, ESPECIALLY WHEN MOST OF THE GODDAMN FILM HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH SOME GODDAMN SUPER-INTENSE CONSPIRACY OR SOME SHIT.
Sorry, but I've had enough of these people. Just cool off and realize that a film can't maintain a consistent mood and still be good. People may change the on-screen events, but if they don't change the music to correspond, it turns awkward, disengaging, and just bad. Who gave you the goddamn budget?
Also, main character has the annoying super-serious-white-guy-who's-two-steps-ahead look on his face, ALL THE TIME. It legitimately doesn't change.
This was just the pilot, so I can't speak for the rest of the show, but hey, FIRST IMPRESSIONS. The basic plot stands a fighting chance, almost. Nonetheless: it's not very good. Be warned.
