    • Trivia
      The first episode premiered on Amazon.com's Prime subscription streaming service on August 19, 2016. It was part of the first Comedy Pilot Season, an extension of the popular and ongoing "choose your own programming" experiment known as Pilot Season. The three half-hour comedies included I Love Dick (2016), The Tick (2016) and Pilot (2016). Subscribers vote on which of the three series will be picked up based on just the first episode/pilots.
    • Quotes

      [first lines]

      Jean-Claude Van Damme: My name is Jean-Clade Van Damme. I used to be super famous. Perhaps you remember my first starring role in Bloodsport. It is on television all of the time. Or maybe you've seen Timecop, which is like Looper starring Bruce Willis, but like a million times better.

    Worth the watch for sure!
    If you're a fan of Jean Claude, and have been waiting for his comeback (not withstanding The Expendables, where he didn't get the recognition he deserved), here it is!

    He is at his best, with a witty script, and it definitely keeps you on your toes as far as plenty of stuff going on.

    There's a lot packed into this, and the leading lady looks like his daughter, but who cares!

    Jean Claude pokes fun at himself and adds dimension to this - I thoroughly enjoyed it, and I'd definitely want to see him a bit more often on our TV screens after this.
