Looks like I was wrong about this one,by episode four it has become a joke of a show..terrible.

Seriously, never in the history of TV / movies have you wished that a hostage would die. If I was the husband of the miserable, personality free (and as an actress talentless) and dour drone that is the hostage in this series and the hostage takers demanded $1m for her life, I'd have offered them $2m to blow her brains out. Hell, $3m, just to be sure!!! Terrible show really. Wooden acting, characters who are supposed to be close having zero chemistry, unbelievable and idiotic story line, story prolonged by lead character incompetence, episodes overly long, slow and boring. A bunch of guys who are supposed to be special forces (which SF exactly?) are at their chum's wedding party boozing it up and they get a call to be "wheels up in 8 hours". So these are the ONLY SF guys in the whole of the US right? Nobody is bothered they will be handing weapons within 8 hours of being on a bender right? Then there's the millionaire heir to a family business who's happily leading his life as a particularly dismal SF trooper, having married a half soaked, boring, sour faced drip (oh yeah, this is the brilliant scientist, dull as dishwater but brilliant) who just also happens to be in the CIA, and he didn't know? [spoiler] Then because these guys are so special, they get to go jetting off around the world on a whim, making a nuisance of themselves, upsetting (equally lacklustre) embassy and CIA staff and getting an "in" such that they are able to a) pressure a South American government and military and b) actually take over the running of their operations (which they then make a total botch of). I mean seriously? [/spoiler] The terrible shaky zoom in / zoom out camera work only helps to drop this garbage from a generous 3 stars to an equally generous 2. Absolutely the most poorly scripted junk filled with talentless actors I have EVER seen. The gun-ho super-hero speeches delivered by guys that would look more at home in a hair salon just make it even more cringe-worthy.

Should have stuck with operators deploying on missions instead of "Taken: Special forces." None of the characters feel relatable, Amber is annoying and, unfortunately, has a lot of the show dedicated to her. I would say watch Episodes 1 and 9 - which are quite literally the entire show, without fillers.

First episode was good,this could be another top notch show from apple.
