I think this slipped under people’s radar when it comes to television, but this thing absolutely rocks. I mean just rocks so hard your gonna be jumping out of your seat hooting and hollering at how good this is. The plot involves a guy at the end of his rope forced to play a game where he has 13 chances to fix his life or he goes to hell and each time he gets into a situation that’s more and more action oriented.
But this thing has a god damn Mustang engine under the hood. Once you get over the very good first episodes preamble and set up, they switch it up on you and it becomes the coolest action show on television. What really sells it are the practical effects here. They really went out of their way to shoot a lot of these action scenes with a mix of practical and CG elements, but stuff like the skydiving scene are real. Then there’s episode three that just has the coolest drone shots I’ve ever seen since Michael Bay’s Ambulance. The action scenes are so god damn good. The team that made this should be working in Hollywood making action pictures with this energy. You’re gonna be losing your mind at some of this cool shit they throw at you in this show. I don’t really want to say anymore cause I don’t want to spoil the experience of just how good this thing is. I feel like this just flew past everyone’s attention, but I really recommend you check this thing out now. It’s also 8 episodes so you can get it over very quickly.
EDIT: It’s on Amazon Prime
