Critic Reviews

Season 1 Review:
JCVJ does a better job of playfully incorporating its homages, but they still don’t build to anything more meaningful. Van Damme himself has a bit of fun playing another character, but exhibits little enthusiasm as “himself.” All in all, it’s a rather forgettable, and even if “JCVJ” finds an audience, this diversion could’ve resonated with a wider niche.

Season 1 Review:
The whole international-spy thing gets repetitive fast. Kat Foster is awfully appealing as her own sort of intelligence agent whose cover is that she’s Van Damme’s hairdresser--it’s easy to see why the action hero still pines for her. That on-again, off-again romance isn’t very sustaining, however. The show is likable--no more, no less.

Season 1 Review:
Directing all six installments, Atencio maintains high production values and when there's an action sequence opportunity--a fight-to-the-death in front of the Huck green screens or some of the climactic battles in the finale--he makes the most of it. It feels like more of a writing problem that whole episodes go by without anything amusing or memorable transpiring.

Season 1 Review:
The six-episode season gets increasingly outlandish, eventually including time travel, doppelgangers and a machine that controls the weather. It’s not quite enough to transcend the mediocre comedy, thin characters and rote fight scenes, but at least it’s more entertaining than another assembly-line D-level action movie.
