Season 1 Review: It’s a rare show that manages to balance riveting action with an almost poetic rhythm, but the contrasts exist in concert here, and broadly, this is yet another show that proves how far Apple TV+ has gone beyond its competitors in greenlighting great television. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Tough, tense and thoughtful, this is a deeply grown-up thriller — and more compelling journalistic filmmaking from co-showrunner Mark Boal. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The series does a great job of creating tension through desperation, and that includes wanting to know where this is going, and trusting that this series has unusual values. It’s thrilling, subversive action entertainment, or at the very least a potent reminder of how much excellent action doesn’t require easy heroics. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Some members of the Colombian military and the rebel crew have personalities or hints of backstory, but not real characters. And at the same time, the various missions to rescue Amber are individually suspenseful without any overall momentum or cumulative tension-building. I’ll be curious to see if it all comes together as something truly good or just settles for well-meaning aspiration. Read full review

Season 1 Review: What this action series, from The Hurt Locker Oscar winner Mark Boal, may lack in originality it compensates for with its grim intensity. [5 - 18 Dec 2022, p.5] Read full review

The Guardian Stuart Jeffries

Nov 23, 2022

Season 1 Review: Essentially it’s an amalgam of The Deer Hunter, Band of Brothers, Phil and Grant’s sibling rivalry in EastEnders plus a sexy stay-at-home bride doomed to moon tearfully out of windows while her men straighten out Johnny Foreigner. Then something incredible happens. Amber, we abruptly learn, is not what she seems, but a protagonist in her own right. Read full review

Radio Times James Hibbs

Nov 23, 2022

Season 1 Review: This is a hugely uneven first batch of episodes, with too many story threads, characters lacking in substance, and a surprising deficit of energy, only reminding you of what could have been every time Collins's character is truly given the spotlight. Read full review

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The best show I've seen on television in a long time - the storyline was elevated by exception production value (writing, directing, sound, acting, camera) that made each episode feel like it's own movie. I asked my wife to give it a try and we are both hooked, there are plenty of characters in here to follow. I loved the combination of the drama and the action, rather than a mindless shoot 'em up this effort took the show to a new level. Annoyed that I can't binge the entire season but will tune in weekly until this wraps. Was honestly considering canceling my Apple TV+ subscription before this show came out. This show changed my mind.… Expand

Not great but enjoyed the scenes of Colombian city stuff. The plot and story sort of drag along for about 8 episodes, then it all goes down and it's not that awesome.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Really wanted to like this but some of the writting and acting are just so bad, but some of it is okay.. so it's jarring how inconsistent the quality is. Poor Luke Evans he's doing his best to hold this thing together but he can only do so much. "A" for effort on his part I like his performance. Except neither of the actors (Evans or Collins) that are supposed to have American Country accents can pull it off... oof it's embarrassing when they try so they drop it most of the time. Some of the military realism seems so off too.. I'm just a civilian but i'm sure special forces do NOT go on night ops without night vision are you kidding me... why do you make these guys look so stupid.. too cheap to get prop NODs? Everyone seems to be a crack sniper too - like getting 1 shot kills from super far away with assault rifles.. so i dunno maybe they're superhuman. I think the youtube channels that analyze Hollywood military media are going to tear this one apart.… Expand

Started off pretty well, good action and a decent story line. Then got lost in the weeds of of confusion, sometimes complicated and boring. The Ending was quite lacking. Not sure if they're doing a season 2 but I'm out.

Both stars to Luke Evans as he carries this flop. What could have been a competent action/thriller turnd into a mess of so-called inteigue that amounts to nothing. The plot is convoluted to make it appear complicated, but the characters are so thin, none of it jibes. The action is lessBoth stars to Luke Evans as he carries this flop.

The plot is convoluted to make it appear complicated, but the characters are so thin, none of it jibes. The action is less interesting than watching people pay COD live on Twitch, and outside Evans, the acting is atrocious, especially the female lead (can't be bothered to look up her name as she's a terrible actress with no redeeming qualities. I hate to say it, but she isn't even attractive, not that that would save a dismal performance. Its as if they actuvely sought out the ugliest actress. Why would a handsome, rich guy ever marry this woman). The whole thing comes off as some vanity project that the writer/director.created yo let his friends star in.… Expand
