Reviews around episode (4.56 of 5)

  • The action is entertaining, but it's like watching a porn show every episode..

  • Great show, gritty, no nonsense, not afraid to kill off characters.

  • Action packed, suspense, great characters -- I F---ing Love this show!
  • While the two main characters are pretty much Super Hero indestructible
