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.

Countdown isn't quite original enough in its premise to completely feel like a breath of fresh air. Still, it capably makes use of compelling characters, strong performers, and an evolving situation with dangerous implications.
