I already watched episode 2 last week on Maxgo.com and it's pretty badass. I'll comment about it in more detail later after this airs on TV.

Checked out both of the episodes on MaxGo, and enjoyed them. I'll continue watching until Directv notices I'm not a Max subscriber and blocks me from using the app.

Episode 2 was pretty kickass. Lots of action and it kept up the Die Hard storyline. Stonebridge and Scott had some nice kills in this episode too.

Interesting little reveal that Mahmood, who Latif was looking for, was the woman that Scott was hitting on in the bar.

Even though it was somewhat predictable, I liked the twist at the end with the Pakistani agent actually being Latif and the other guy being a follower/decoy. It was very 24-like. I honestly thought that Latif was just going to keep Mahmoon hostage. I did not expect him to kill her.

Go figure that Stonebridge isn't a choir boy and is banging Marshall. But, I think he's stupid for cheating on his smoking hot wife.

And of course a 24-like storyline wouldn't be complete without a mole. which Scott revealed at the end. So at least they made some good use out of Richard Armitage's last appearance.

Any guesses who it might be?

I'm going to guess that it's

Spoiler:
Marshall. It would really shock me if it was Colonel Grant, but I doubt it.

Now here's an interesting tidbit:

Sullivan Stapleton (Scott) is Australian and playing an American character.

Philip Winchester (Stonebridge) is American and playing a British character.

Cool episode. I sort of figured there'd be a twist in there, somewhere. The kill shots in this show are graphic as hell, but awesome. The mole thing is overused, but if it makes a good story, I'm OK with it.

That dude is cheating on his hot wife with that hose beast, though? Yowsers.

Agree. I was like are you fucking kidding me? You have a smoking hot wife at home who wants to get pregnant and your cheating on her with that??

And yeah 24 overused the mole thing to hell. But, if they come up with a creative way here to make it work, I'm fine with it.

Eh, wouldn't call that one real "skinemax". They only seem to do the gratuitous nudity/sex as an afterthought.

Not to mention actors with far more major regular movie credits as well as writers and directors.

But it was fun to watch.

If I had a beautiful wife at home, who wants to start a family, I would be happy. Stonebridge was trying to break it off with Marshall because he was feeling guilty, especially with his wife wanting a baby.

Finally got around to watching the first 2 episodes and I was blown away! The first series was pretty good, but this was fantastic! All the best bits of The Unit, Die Hard, 24, and Burn Notice rolled up into one!

I'd put a gun in my mouth and pull the trigger.



........did I say my mouth? I meant hers.
