I tried to like this as I do enjoy B horror, this was more like D horror. This was supposed to be an "American" series, however it id painfully odvious it is not. It is funny how other countries see US policy and military function (I am looking at you Uwe Boll).
Avoid this unless you are REALLY drunk or under the influence of other "herbs" or both.
The acting is jilted, the story is superficial, save the time you will not get back if you watch this.
On a side note the spooks name was "Sambuco" that was about the funniest part Save your time, save yourself avoid this series at all cost!
5 more characters...lol.

I happened to catch some of it after starting my yearly rewatch of Nikita on Seed. Even without sound I could tell it was terrible. But the second I unmuted the stream it became abundantly that this show is terrible. The dialogue is horribly stilted and wordy. The acting is comically bad. The show is shot like a sitcom with some weird edm/rock music in the background to try to raise tension. I caught snippets of episode 9 and a conversation about a ventilation shaft that was apparently supposed to be tense and dramatic but had zero actual tension. The camera crews don't understand the importance of movement in camera shots to create tension, the cuts are not quick, everything is a still shot, the dialogue is banal and horribly delivered with zero emphasis, and any emphasis is put in is in the exact wrong spot. Easily the worst television show I have ever watched. Mystery Science Theatre would have field day with one scene.
Wow. I can kind of understand how a total stinker of a movie gets made... Not that fun B movie, the total schlock waste of time... An enthusiastic but talentless amateur either fronts their own money or coaxes mom and dad and a few friends to front the money, and you get one of those Written-Directed-Produced (and sometimes even Acted) by one poor schmo, and everybody loses their shirt, and we all either run screaming or have a good laugh at its expense. But how does an entire TV series get made with this level of lameness in writing, direction, acting, everything? This show has absolutely nothing to recommend it. I watched the entire first episode, to see if it ever had a special moment. It didn't. Won't waste time on anymore episodes.
About the only thing that was so bad it was funny (enough to evoke actual laughter) was the music. Or perhaps it was really the direction and editing. I wonder if the music might have been okay if the dramatic moments in the music were actually matched by dramatic moments in the show, but inevitably the director and/or editor would queue up these dramatic flourishes in the music with utterly banal moments in the show. The meeting is over, cut to wide shot of the group... BOMMMM. The group of bad actors, excuse me, mercenaries turn a corner... DUNN, DUNN, DUNN. These unintentionally funny musical moments became the highlight of the show for me.
If they'd played it for intentional laughs, they might have had something. But that would have a taken a level of intelligence that was sorely lacking in the production of this series. Yow, this was bad.

The title says it all, really.
I didn't want to pull my hair out in rage, like some of the reviewers, but then, I'm not as wedded to the genre as perhaps some of the others are, so there's no rage from me. Haha!
It was decent enough and had (just about) enough highlights to keep me watching through to the end. That said, it WAS too long. Either the show should have been like 10 episodes, or each episode should have been half as long, bc I DID find that sometimes it was an effort to persevere to the end of a 45 min episode. Breaking it down a little more, might have helped.
Not terrible. A LOT more then 'meh', but definitely less than 'great'!

i had the same feelings.... how could the CW 'dare' to put something is terrible on their line up....
i glad the actors had a change to act and hopefully get some money.... but they all could benefit from more experience...
