    Most interesting show to watch. Chuck is a great show to just relax and watch after a tough day. The show has action, mystery, romance, and full of technology.

    This is the best thing since the creation of people. Zach Levi acts out his role better then any other comedy actor in the biz. Sarah also has amazing acting and the show has the best hitline EVER. THIS SHOW ROCKS!

    Better than expected. Definitely worth watching at least a few more episodes. Besides, you can't go wrong with Adam Baldwin. Long live the hero of Canton!!!!

    Charming and fun, Chuck has enough charisma to overcome its otherwise ho-hum attempts at action. The cast is mostly solid and the cheese is usually kept to a minimum in dialogue (the CIA/NSA heads are horribly directed and always challenge my will to watch the show). If you want something with a light hearted approach to espionage, Chuck's first season is worth a try.

    Moderately entertaining, but disappointingly repetitive from episode to episode. The acting is too melodramatic to be fresh for long, the relationships and situations are awfully trite; cliche characters, gratuitous camera shots. Really it's a bit of fluff with no substance whatever. Sure, it's meant as a light spoof show, but it gets kinda old pretty quick.

Probably more appealing to those of the male persuasion due to the female eye candy, would've benefited from at least one hot guy in the cast.… Expand

    Good plot, good actors but somehow each episode is just another version of the previous one. A bad guy comes..the agents ask for Chuck's help..he gets involved even though he doesn't want to..gets saved. However, you do find yourself watching each episode anyway.

    I think the show is excellent and so does the public, giving it a solid rating, and so do the critics. Everyone in San Francisco thinks Tim Goodman is a joke so don't go by his review.

    Not many shows can make me laugh out loud, yet this one does again and and again each episode. The second season is even stronger than the first, with each episode getting better and better. A great mix of action, romance, drama and comedy, with characters you quickly come to care about.

    Along with LOST, CHUCK is the BEST show on TV right now. I love everything about it: its acting, writing, directing, etc. It's ridiculous that CHUCK isn't nominated for an Emmy.

    While there are a a few too many "awkward-guy moments," there are enough genuinely sweet ones to balance them out. [28 Sep 2007, p.93]

    It's actually a kick to watch. Its joys are broader and self-consciously zanier than the CW series.
