Came here to start a thread about this.

I’m only an episode in but it has my attention. Looks like it will be good.
I wish I could find more shows like this. Government, thriller-mysteries. Seems like I’ve seen them all.

Just started it also. I thought the 1st episode was really good.

I was waiting until I got finished to post about it but I really enjoyed it. Admittedly it didn't break any new ground but I thought it was a fun ride.

On episode 3. Has that British miniseries “Bodyguard” feel to it. Wife and I will probably finish it in the next 3-4 nights.

I'm finishing up Episode 2. I found it instantly engaging, like The Recruit from a couple of months ago, but without the humor.

This isn't much of a spoiler since it happens in the first five minutes of the show, but when he found the bomb and pulled the emergency switch, when the train came to a halt I expected him to jump off the train with the backpack and carry it clear of the train. But no...

So the whole tunnel collapses instead of being contained by the train?

This is legit, slow at times, just still well done, great cast with back stories that are well developed, and no forced diversity shite in a diverse cast. Good job in this era of pure crap….

I’m gonna assume you’ve seen The Americans then, one of the best shows of all time

I watched in under 30 hours, it was very good.

Disregard the whole in the shows, just an action driven show.

Worth watching and hard to pull away from watching it.

Just finished it. Great binge, like a novel that keeps you up all night. And it wasn't too convoluted, I was able to keep up with the story.

Plus the co-lead has a nice rack.

I don’t know, I’m about six episodes in and there’s just something about this show that feels off. I enjoyed the recruit, but this one not so much. I think it’s the casting. There’s a lot of pretty bad acting…with the asian broad playing Diane Farr leading the way. I like the story enough, and I’ll finish it, but the actors are all pretty bad…and I wasn’t expecting greatness to begin with.

This is exactly how I feel about it. I am enjoying it though. The asian lady playing Diane Farr is glaringly bad. I can't quite figue out if she's being directed that way or what. It's kind of wierd.

Acting was suspect but after the first episode but I feel like the writing tightened up and that fixed a lot of the acting issues.

Good show.

Solid show. Definitely entertaining. Yes acting was suspect, but the pace and action were good.

A couple other issues:

SPOILERS:







It kind of sucked that every good side character died. I mean pretty much everybody fricking died and I get you have to kill a few. But the old lady AND the Asian cop AND Monks. Seemed a bit much.

And the last episode went kind of off the rails.
