Review - Countdown on Prime
The latest Prime Original series is Countdown which premiered last month on June 25.
Mixed reviews popped up when it went live, but it’s proved popular with fans—especially with those who were devoted Supernatural viewers.
Like most series in the last couple of years, Amazon releases them one at a time.
Yeah, they trained us to binge watch then they took that away. To make matters worse, they shovel in so many commercials that watching becomes tedious.
Honestly, I think there are more commercials than on traditional television, but I digress.
BLURB
An LAPD Detective Marck officer (Jensen Ackles) joins a secret task force to investigate a suspicious murder. When a sinister plot is uncovered, the team must unite to save the city.
The rest of the cast are:
Jessica Camacho as Amber Oliveras
Eric Dane as Nathan Blythe
Violett Beane as Evan Shepherd
Uli Latukefu as Lucas Finau
Jonathan Togo as Damon Drew
Milo Ventimiglia as Robert Daren
Elliot Knight as Keyonte Bell
MY 2¢
Countdown doesn’t pretend to be anything but what it is, an entertaining crime drama with a plot that’s been done many times.
The cast of actors are excellent with the material they’ve been given. Of course, the ending is predictable, but the surprises are all held by the villain of the piece, Bogdan Yasinski, who portrays Borys Volchek.
It’s watchable, but there’s one thing that is really annoying. That’s the music that accompanies all of the action scenes. It takes away from the drama of the scene. In fact, it’s become so annoying that I hit the mute button when it starts.
I fear this music accompaniment may be a trend because I noticed the same thing on the other new Prime series, Ballard.
TAKEAWAY TRUTH
If your watchlist is looking anemic, add Countdown to the list. You could do worse.
