Echo 3 (Apple+) - cinematic action series

[NoRagrets 1125]

The pilot was very meh, but damn if it doesn’t go from meh to OMG this is the perfect action series I’ve been waiting for my whole life from episode 2+.

I'll have to soldier on. I watched the pilot a month ago and it wasn't horrendous but it was old USA Network mediocre.

Isn’t Strike Back the perfect action series?

Until the last couple seasons.

I turned it off halfway through the first episode. Thought it was just terrible. Plot. Writing. Acting. Everything sucked. It would have to take a huge leap in episode 2 to become what you’re saying it is.

Ep 9 was hot.

Tough crowd as usual. Ep1 was weird and confusing. But once shit got going… Pretty fukin good. I stuck with it for the Bambi actor. 
 

Loved Strike Back. That theme song still fucks (The Heavy).

I’ve been hate watching this series like Yellowstone. Except it’s better than Yellowstone. But not by much. I think I’m only one or two episodes behind. Hoping it ends soon.

I made it 2.5 episodes in. before I tapped out. 
the girl who was kidnapped is a dollar store Jennifer Lawrence, and none of the characters are likeable or anyone you give a shit as to success/lack thereof.  
Also super hard to suspend belief on a shit load of stuff that they just utterly ignore/sweep under rug.

Indeed. I stuck it out to the bitter end because I’m a masochist. That’s 8 hours of my life I won’t get back.

Episode 9 was pretty tense. That was one really long combat scene and pretty fucking good.

My only criticism was the guerrillas being the level boss when they were pretty shitty earlier in the season.

There’s another episode?!?  
 

Got a notification on my phone from Apple TV that another episode dropped today. 

They should have ended it after episode 9.

Female lead isn’t hot enough. I understand her husband and brother want to rescue her, but… I mean… come on.

Yep. My girlfriend thought the wife was prettier than the side piece he hooked up with and I told her she was fucking crazy.

I would be banging the side piece 24/7 and that Ann looking wife would be a distant memory in a week.

Seen better on campus is so tired. But yeah, seen better at HEB shouldn’t be pulling down leads in major Apple shows. Is her agent available to contest my property taxes?

Episode 10 was pretty good too.
