    It doesn’t always hit on all cylinders, but it delivers the fireworks we’re looking for from a show like this. It’s like a battering ram slamming through a screen door: not very subtle, but undeniably effective.

    The Prime Video formula has zapped the concept of everything that made those shows [CSI, NCIS] work. What’s left is an overly mechanical, largely lifeless run-through of a law enforcement team-up, without enough texture to make it all that unique or memorable.

    Unfortunately, though the show has all of the fundamentals needed for an engaging action series, “Countdown” grows duller by the episode.
