7/10
Jeremy Renner is going full throttle, isn't it?

This series starts quite well, you definitely wanted to keep watching. But unfortunately, there was very rarely a cliffhanger that really took you away. For my part, I was able to see the first season well, but unfortunately it wasn't enough for more. I also had the feeling that in the first five episodes I didn't really comply with what exactly it was about and who owes whom a favor. What I also found quite tedious were the often super negative police officers. As if pulled out of the bad cliché drawer, they curse all the time, are always aggressive and don't let anyone say anything to them. I've never been to the USA, but maybe it's completely normal and commonplace that police officers are on such a high horse that they just have to come across as hard. The role of Jeremy Renner somehow doesn't appeal to me either. I realize that the role doesn't have an easy situation and life is tedious, but I don't understand why you have to celebrate alcohol and smoking as extreme as your character does. However, I found the "hidden" product placements from Red Bull funny. A policeman was sprayed with pepper spray in the face, which you logically have to rinse with a can of Red Bull instead of using the water dispenser 20cm away 🤣 - of course 😅.

My conclusion for the first season would therefore be: You can watch it and maybe some will be more interested than the others, but mostly I find it only mediocre entertainment, which I find very unfortunate. On average, I can only give the first season 7/10 stars. I also watched the first episode of the second season, but unfortunately I also had to rate it with a 6/10 star, which is why I decided not to continue watching the second season (and everything that may come in the future).

Overview of the individual consequence evaluation: S1E1 = 7/10 stars, S1E2 = 7/10 stars, S1E3 = 7/10 stars, S1E4 = 5/10 stars, S1E5 = 7/10 stars, S1E6 = 7/10 stars, S1E7 = 7/10 stars, S1E8 = 8/10 stars, S1E9 = 8/10 stars, S1E10 = 7/10 stars, S2E1 = 6/10 stars.
