Great show! I will keep watching


Please ignore the posters calling this a yawnfest or dull show. It has a good concept, interesting plot and has potential to be a huge hit. The only issue I have with this show is that it has the same timeslot as "How to get away with murder". I simply have to use DVR to watch either show at 10pm ET. I am happy to see Wesley Snipes doing something new for once.

Its a less intelligent Person Of Interest set in las vegas...

The only thing tv shows ever have to be...is ENTERTAINING.

Happiness must be earned.

IMO POI is super dull, almost as dull as Ncis but NCIS still has the edge on the absolute fall asleep 5 mins in tv show.

reply

If you don't like Persons of interest, you'll hate this show, as the Player is a complete ripoff of Persons of Interest, and the writing and directing on persons of interest is 10x better than this show.

I agree. I thought it was a fun show with good action (not as good as Strike Back, of course), and it has good chemistry between the three core cast members. I already love Cassandra.

reply

Sorry guys but as likable as Winchester is; the show is poorly executed with piss poor action scenes. Fail.

I hope you are joking and it's the koolaid talking. Poor action scenes???? We must be talking about different shows here. It has a James Bond and Mission Impossible feeling to it.

reply

Uh no. The action was ok but executed poorly. Poorly lit, edited and Winchester constantly holding the gun like a gangsta was ridiculous. No former military person would do that.

reply

I have hope that the action scenes will get better. You could tell they tried to do something different or fun, I just hope they get it right soon.

reply

Yes, I enjoyed it as well.

reply

yeah it was fun to watch. Felt like mission impossible.

reply

I actually think the main guy would be perfect for James Bond.

reply

I'm cool with that ;)

reply

I thoroughly enjoyed the pilot. It had all the elements I am a sucker for.....good looking lead,tragic hero out for revenge, snappy dialogue, a little mystery and intrigue,and really decent action shots...pretty kick a$$, actually.

reply

I'm only watching because of Wesley "The Wildcats" Snipes..lol
Thought he was hilarious in the scene where he gets AK out of custody.
Also knew there would be a scene where he would beat down AK..lol

I enjoyed it. I was disappointed with the ratings.

Grands...Glad to see you come and glad to see you go

I did not like it. DOn't like Person of Interest. This reminded me so much of that. OP, we are all entitled to our opinions.

...............ZING!
