The Middleman (2008)
Not worth the watch, but could potentially become so.
I figured I'd check out this show, as it was seemed interesting in concept. While I was watching the first episode, I was thinking along the lines of "this is sort of interesting, it could take a right turn somewhere", but the last ten minutes were boring, ridiculous and just not entertaining in general.
I figured I'd watch the second episode to see where the series were going, and I found it to be incredibly dry, and hard to watch. I'm reminded of Torchwood without a back-story. It's pure and simply "random POTENTIALLY interesting guy with a horrible sense of humor, random potentially interesting chick with a decent sense of humor" teaming up and chasing a ridiculous story.
The whole plot with aliens and crazy doctors is introduced in the sentence "the stuff you read in comic books are true", and there you go. No back-story, just kill bad guys without action.
I enjoy series such as Doctor who, torchwood, etc, but this one actually bored me. It has potential though, and I will suffer myself through another episode or two to see if the series turn into something I enjoy. Nevertheless, I'm left with the feeling that this series is intended for a generation older than me.
