Drogo December 26, 2017 Share December 26, 2017 Bryan Mills fights for his life inside a secret Mexican prison and plans a series of dangerous deals to put him on track for escape to the United States. But plans change when Mills and a young migrant girl are taken by human traffickers. Meanwhile, Christina Hart leverages her spycraft skills to obtain powerful new software that could locate Mills, and enlists two unlikely allies to aid in her mission to bring Mills home.

themadman January 13, 2018 Share January 13, 2018 So the whole team from Season 1 is out? And just two people + tech guy now? Must be some serious budget cuts. Link to comment
kassygreene January 13, 2018 Share January 13, 2018 Since the ensemble that played the team were very very good, and now apparently our very very gone, I'm not watching this reboot of a pre-boot unless it gets very very genuine raves. So, probably not. Pity, that was a good cast, and the characters were written really well. 1 Link to comment
saber5055 January 13, 2018 Share January 13, 2018 I really like this show and am glad it's back. I love that Mills is a kickass who can get out of any predicament and solve any problem on the fly. (If only all men were like that ... dream on, I know.) I can hand wave the plot holes in this show while I snark on and think, "Yeah, right," about plot holes in other shows (Blacklist, Blindspot). I don't care if the original team comes back or not since I never got to know any of them, I just remember one guy was a ginger and that's it. I love Jennifer Beales, she is compelling in everything I've seen her in. As for this being a prequel to the Liam movies, that doesn't even figure into how I watch this show. I just hope Mills doesn't get all verklempt about some random female AGAIN. And the IT guy needs to meet Patterson and RichDotCom. Maybe do a spinoff. I'd watch that, too. 4 Link to comment

I don't know maybe The Brave came in as a finished project late as the original team looked just like the team on that show, minus a female on the primary shooting team. You would have had two shows that looked exactly the same except one boss had blond hair. I guess since the movies had Bryan basically alone Taken was the one most likely to be rebooted. Bryan following beads on the side of the road after a rifleman casually walks up to him, handcuffed or not why. He didn't fight them causing a want for revenge or anything personal. He just needed it to happen for a plot god looking after him to make the plan work. Link to comment
AnimeMania January 16, 2018 Share January 16, 2018 I think they wanted the team to focus on Human Trafficking, so that the show would seem more like the movies. Otherwise the viewers would never be able to figure out how he got "a particular set of skills". 1 Link to comment

From your lips to NBC's ears! I gave up on The Blacklist last season, right before two part season finale - that was how much I couldn't handle the crazy on that show! (Did it get better...and by "better", does Aram finally have more screen time or take his shirt off in every episode?) Is it as good as Blindspot & Taken? 1 Link to comment

The thing is the show presented us with a man who already had the particular set of skills thanks to US Army Special Forces, he was just identified with the never give up, all the way spirit above and beyond all of the other special forces soldiers in the world. And now, even in the first season while assassinating US officials. it is more like just showing him exercising a James Bond like license to kill Link to comment

I did like the team from last year, though I honestly could never remember any of their names so unfortunately I didn't miss them that much. Especially after that ass kicking opening sequence and Bryan's plan to escape. Maybe it was just me but I felt like the fight scenes were better than last season's even just in that episode. I think now that they've got a start with the weapon's lady and tech guy, they may slowly add in new characters to build up a new team. Which in a way I think may work better in terms of making them memorable as individuals. 1 Link to comment
AllAboutEve January 20, 2018 Share January 20, 2018 I was happy when this got renewed. I'm not going to miss the old team, as like others said here, I don't even remember their names. They were not fleshed out characters in that way for me. I do hope that this season they will go a bit deeper into the background of all characters and that we get a bit more character development. Clive Standen and Jennifer Beals carry this show and I watch for them. ps. Does Christina still have that brain tumor? Was that resolved last season or is it just forgotten? Link to comment

saber5055 January 29, 2018 Share January 29, 2018 I'm the only one watching this show. I wonder if Jennifer Beals has cleaners who follow Mills around to remove bodies, like on Blacklist, since dozens of cleaners were needed this episode. My first thought at the end, when Mills left the (loaded!) gun in front of the bad guy was that he would use it to shoot Mills. I was vaguely disappointed he didn't. I don't think he would have shot himself so quickly since he was a manipulator and those bank accounts could have been faked. But whatever, I guess! Link to comment

tessathereaper February 5, 2018 Share February 5, 2018 (edited) I'm watching it and I'd talk about it but the episodes never seem to match the descriptions on the threads. This is at least the second time the wrong episode was put up for the weekly thread. I don't know, I'm enjoying this season more than last. The characters all get to do more because there aren't as many of them.(though I did like the team, but it was hard to keep track of them all) Time isn't wasted on what IMO was a fairly lame and pointless, sorry, romance. The action is better, I feel like they upped their game in that regard. I think the hacking thing with Killroy could be an interesting plot to carry through for a bit and the human trafficking angle is interesting and gives it a focusing theme without making it specific to one particular character.

TobinAlbers March 2, 2018 Share March 2, 2018 (edited) Ha! I swear when Christina said 'We can't have another Mexico, Bryan' the look on Bryan's face as he was backing out of the room was totally 'Maybe, we will and maybe we won't'. I liked the old team. The new one isn't bad and it definitely feels less 'bulky' with just the five of them but Gaius Charles was a great ops leader. Nice to hear that the team wasn't killed off just reassigned due to everything going south in Mexico. Which means the old crew can pop up as antagonists with the new crew for future episodes. One thing I love is that Brian is never badass James Bond suave in suits and perfectly groomed. He's badass in khakis and a hawaiian shirt and sneakers. Sure he'll wear a stylish peacoat or leather jacket but overall despite his size and Clive Standen's looks he really is a 'normal' dopey guy, LOL. Bryan's confrontation with Lester was almost an exact replay of of Person of Interest's "Cura Te Ipsum" where John confronted the rapist with the 'What punishment do you deserve?' and was like 'Do I kill you or disappear you to a Mexican prison where you'll wish you were dead? Help me make that decision.' Makes sense since the new show runner worked on POI. On this show they let Bryan keep his hands clean but on POI we were left wondering what John did for a while.

saber5055 March 3, 2018 Share March 3, 2018 I guess I'm not the only one who didn't find this episode interesting. However, Jennifer Beals rocks, she steals every scene she's in. I could watch an hour of just her talking. Or not talking. And if Brian is getting sweet on Santana, at least that's a better choice than the college girl from last season. Link to comment
tessathereaper March 4, 2018 Share March 4, 2018 I agree. Jennifer Beals is great. And yeah Brian and Santana seem better than Brian and the girl from last season whose name I've already forgotten(if they are even going in that direction). I really couldn't figure out what the writers were thinking with that - I mean I get the comforting over the death of someone they both loved(his sister/her best friend) but it still seemed pretty unlikely and felt shoe-horned. I know sometimes people complain that characters who work together in shows get romantically involved and I do get that, complained about it myself, but I also understand why it happens that way. Otherwise it tends to feel like "Why is this person here? What purpose do they serve other than love interest?" If the characters are working together, well they both have a reason to be in the story and you aren't wasting time on scenes that don't really add anything to the overall story or trying shoe-horn the non-work involved love interest into the work(for example, having girlfriend kidnapped by people trying to get back at boyfriend even though she's got absolutely nothing to do with it) Link to comment

On a more shallow note does anyone notice how Clive's hair color changes every episode and he has no stubble continuity scene to scene? Is he using Sun-In, like, whaa?
