Nancy DeWolf Smith

Nov 5, 2015

Nobody (including James Earl Jones as the chief justice) plays openly for laughs here, which would spoil an already precarious illusion. Yet amid the high-voltage action, there is banter and always an open invitation to laugh if you want to. Read full review

While Agent X opens on a lighter note, the show begins drifting toward a perhaps too-familiar framework--with a shadowy cabal threatening to upset the established order--in the third and fourth hours, which reflect a qualitative dip compared with the premiere. That said, the action remains solid throughout, and the material is elevated by the casting. Read full review

Writer-creator William Blake Herron (oh, that’s why the veep was reading Blake) pays homage to the great spy thrillers of the 1960s, not to mention the entire James Bond franchise, without really coming close to what they had to keep audiences on the edges of their seats. Read full review

Agent X is a silly, overly earnest espionage drama. [6 Nov 2015, p.57]

Agent X has very little that's new. It goes pretty much where every spy show has gone before, including the wry mid-1960s dramedy The Wild Wild West. I admit, Agent X offers boatloads of fun. It's a pleasant diversion filled with great eye candy. Read full review

The show doesn’t cover new ground, but it gets a passing grade for being competent within the overly familiar territory of the spy genre. Read full review

Unfortunately Agent X remains an intentional drama, one that is insanely but deliciously bad. Hilariously bad. Read full review

This show may not be the greatest that's ever graced the screens, but so far up to episode four of the first season it is one of the first ones that I go to to watch without delay.

The first episode is a little silly. But in episode two and three, the series really picks up. I love Agent X's dry, sarcastic humor. The action scenes and plots are also really good now. Hopefully, people didn't quit watching after the first episode and give the series a chance.

I have watched every show to date, and I find it quite enjoyable despite overacting of Sharon Stone, the continuity flaws, a coincidental occurrences that defy credulity.

SPOILER ALERT: If Agent X is supposed to be the best spy available in the country then why does he allow his captive terrorist to have an unrecorded conversation with a co-conspirator while locked in a maximum security facility (as happens with former X agent Volker in episode 8?) I tend to watch most television with a suspended view of reality, so this show is still fun, but I won't shed too many tears when/if it is canceled.… Expand

After only 5min it is clear that this is a cheaply executed show, made with cliche scene made without effort in quality with no complexity, where every details are spoon-feed to the viewer as if the "target-IQ" was too low to do otherwise.

1st scene : (Meaning: main character as nothingAfter only 5min it is clear that this is a cheaply executed show, made with cliche scene made without effort in quality with no complexity, where every details are spoon-feed to the viewer as if the "target-IQ" was too low to do otherwise.

1st scene : (Meaning: main character as nothing to lose)
- For ever torture cliche
- The good old Neck Breaking when handcuffed in a cell cliiche!
- All pointless as he was getting rescued anyways

2nd Scene (1st mission, agent is indeed super skilled)
- Double dip the syringe, remind us of it's presence mid fight and use as last resort in a fight (why not use 12 syringe!@#$)
- Kill a guy, who, non-only resurrect but has wound switching side mid fight (first episode of the show!@#$%^)
- Etc
- Etc

So the question with a cheap-show is what's the cool features that will allow me to look pass the errors and 60IQ reminders.

Sharron Stone... (gimme a brake, "Robin Wright did it!")… Expand

I want to sue the show's producers for the time I wasted watching this show. This show is HORRIBLE!!! Block it from your kids; it may lower their IQ.

I gave it a chance.. and what a disappointment! A big waste of (once really) good talent. Imagine Homeland being remade by Disney.. or something along those lines. NEXT!

Even for an idiot (like me), this show is unbearable to watch. It's okay to use as a sleeping pill but otherwise don't waste/invest your time, it will be cancelled and no-one will ever remember it existed. Enough said already ... go watch something like Homeland instead.
