Season 1 Review:
Regardless of some of my problems with the show's narrative, Countdown does largely succeed thanks to its stylish and effective action. Whether it's a fast-paced foot pursuit through crowded LA markets, tense shootouts or car chases having a mix of hand-to-hand combat and vehicular action, Haas and his creative team deliver plenty of exciting setpieces that keep things moving.

Season 1 Review:
The show is very bad, to be clear. It’s bad at being suspenseful, it’s bad at providing emotional investment and it’s bad at being memorable. It feels cynical and uninterested in itself. It provides the bare minimum of every element, digs no further, then loudly insists it’s providing a service.
