Good ending to a great series

[zachmetzgers · 8/10 · 2 December 2021]

An exciting ending and I was relieved Joe stopped the plague from being released. However, I found it a little hard to believe that Joe wouldn't shoot the assassin who has killed pretty much everyone he loves and trusts and has repeatedly tried to kill him. But then shortly thereafter, he puts a bullet in the head another CIA agent.

However, those seemingly incongruent action all lead back to the question that Uncle Bob posed early on to a younger Joe about how many people would he need to save in order to justify the killing of 1 person. This episode gives us that answer: two million. So it brings it back to that central theme in a way that make sense.

Jumped the Shark

[djesusundead · 1/10 · 17 August 2018]

So he has a sure way to kill the assassin who murdered his best friend, ex-girlfriend, current girlfriend, former friends and co-workers, and tried to kill him too.....But leaves her in the car unconscious and walks away while carrying a gun? Why not just pull the trigger? He answers later in the episode that he couldn't shoot someone in "cold blood"...WTF? Killing a mass-murdering sociopath assassin who just wiped out "everyone you trust" in your life and has you at gunpoint is NOT "killing in cold blood" (If someone kills in cold blood, they kill in a way that seems especially cruel because it seems to show no emotion.) But of course he had no problem driving his car off a bridge with the assassin in the back seat, which could have easily (and probably should have) killed her and himself.

I was loving this series until now

Who in the hell wrote this episode?

Also...a brutal car wreck doesn't deploy a single airbag and both passengers walk away unharmed without a scratch? A high level federal agent who is the sole survivor of a mysterious mass murder scene that claimed the lives of another agent and a high priority wanted fugitive is left alone at the hospital without a single guard? Especially if she told authorities the story that it was the professional assassin Joubert that shot her?

Stop watching after 9 episodes! So you don't have to be completely disappointed!

[John-76 · 5/10 · 21 August 2018]

This was a thoroughly enjoyable series... that is, up until the final episode. Did the writers forget that they only had 10 episodes and then when told this they panicked and tried to wrap everything up in a hole filled bow?

They insulted the viewer's intelligence and probably will lose a lot of eyes if there is a season 2.

An assassin who has killed everyone you love is just left to walk away and then to make matters even worse, is she now supposed to be a potential love interest in season 2??? WTF?

Everyone is resigned to the fact that there is no red light/line and there is nothing to stop the attack... wait a minute, oh that's right, the assassin is now somehow in Saudi Arabia and they have all the info on the man she needs to take out to stop WWIII... sure, how hard can it be to find one man among millions all dressed in the same garb??

Seriously - you invest close to 9hrs into a very good show and they leave you in the climatic episode with this drivel?

Shame on you!

Season 1 Finale

[Lolly83 · 3/10 · 13 May 2021]

The logical fallacies in this episode are myriad. But the worst is that our hero does not kill the hired assassin who just murdered his closest friends, and recently murdered all of his colleagues and a would-be girlfriend. And then 30 minutes later puts a bullet in the head of the high-level federal agent he just kidnapped, even though he apparently wasn't able to kill in cold blood. Not to mention that everyone has been trying to track down our hero for weeks, but then they blithely let him back, no questions asked, even though he just murdered a federal agent. And he's the one heading up efforts to stop World War III. Then once the plan succeeds, they just let him go on his way. I really like this show, but this was terrible writing.

They messed it up in the end

[kokinokalamaki · 1/10 · 16 August 2018]

9 episodes were great. But in the last and most important part of the season the writers showed they have no balls. What a let down. You tease an apocalyptic holy war between the christian and the muslim world and you decide to go with the 1950s view of the world. The good guy must win just because he's the good guy. Bonner killer. A tv show about a holly war would be awesome.

Mid-air car change

[daveraybould · 2/10 · 11 July 2020]

They are driving along what appears to be a bridge. Joe swerves violently to the left, does a barrel roll and in mid-air, you see another bridge. They land on the road, no airbags deploy, and it's a different car to the one they set off in! How did they swerve across the concrete central reservation, and how did they get up and walk away unscathed?
