Granted, "Treadstone" (the name comes from the secret operation that turned Bourne into a weapon) proceeds a little too slowly in terms of connecting the dots, but the show doesn't scrimp on action, and those who enjoyed the movies should find tantalizing threads in this expansion of the narrative.

It’s a visually stimulating series that looks to have filmed in many locations around the world, leaving viewers with curiosities aroused just enough to keep tuning in for more if only for the fights. Read full review

Right now, “Treadstone” is a diverting series about an organization so diffuse that it’s easier understood as background noise between action. In the episodes and, perhaps, seasons to come, I’m hoping the show gives us more by paring back. Read full review

Treadstone is the far more simplistic and far less cool cousin, in both its direction and its dialogue, a show in need of an added oomph to turn it into something really special. But as it stands, as a show we really didn’t need in the first place, it’s a pacy and entertaining journey that does more than it could have done with the loose pitch of finding a way to force Bourne back on to the small screen.

This one is heavy on scenery and action, and thin on profundity. Read full review

The globetrotting and time-jumping to different “Bournes” makes for a show that’s hard to follow and gives us too little reason to make the effort. ... Even the fight scenes, a hallmark of the Bourne movies, are poorly done. ... Whoever thought turning a show built around a someone like Jason Bourne into an ensemble of forgettable quasi-Bournes was a good idea should be put in a government program themselves.

The missing ingredient, however, is the writing. Treadstone is all action and no brains. ... While lots of action films require the audience to suspend disbelief at times, Treadstone requires them to saw the tops of their own heads off and remove the gooey blob inside. It's the only way you'll survive the writing. Even the actors sometimes look stunned. Read full review

If you are too stupid to follow... sorry you can't fix stupid. Great backstory... you actually have to pay attention. Action is almost believable except of course when a 120 pound female wins a hand to hand combat scene against a 200+ male soldier! Hollywood come on, for fsakes.

This show has a lot of potential but I can't quite catch the Bourne connection except the super soldier experiment.Still I would recommend this show.

The show is just all over the place, constantly swapping between different times and characters, there's no real attachment to the characters.

Sorry. It's a mess. Narrative, pace, tone. What character development? Nothing is sticking. I have reached Episode 4 and I cannot take another step.

In its effort to keep secrets for later the first 7 of the 10 episodes, at least (being as far as I could stand it) are a mess that you'll have to be very patient to sit through.

The actors barely manage to give the characters any substance at all (Han Hyo-joo is the only one that comes away looking good. without her this would be a solid 0 out of 10) so there's little motivation to continue watching to see what happens to them. Meanwhile there are too many threads ongoing at once to just check your brain at the door and watch it for the entertainment. The too many threads also has led to a lot of mediocre padding, which isn't that surprising when they're trying to spin a one trick pony into a whole circus act. I could stand a bit of padding if the rest was really good, but it's not. So what we have is something that works on no levels at all, leaving you wondering why you watched it for so long before you gave up.… Expand
