Nov 16, 2013This is a very good series with an excellent performance from Richard Armitage (The Hobbit) and with great support from Andrew Lincoln (Walking Dead) and just about every other actor in this show. It's not the same as the Cinemax series but it's definitely its own man and, IMO, better. Thoughtful, intelligent and gripping more like an exciting drama than a mindless shoot 'em up.

Aug 24, 2013I have seen the first two seasons, and this one is very good.
Richard Armitage does a very good job as the main character, the acting is convincing, there are some great actions scenes, the plot is ok and it is not excessively long.

Origins is the more psychologically complex show, and feels slightly more realistic, even though Porter escapes certain death on numerous occasions.
-
Origins is no worse than average among the class of shows--“24,” “The Unit,” “MI5”--that mix high-tech intelligence gathering with bloody commando action.

While it still oozes testosterone, it has a sharper focus and a sharper message [than the current Strike Back series].
