Unadulterated Drivel

Warning: Spoilers
Don't waste your time! It may look glitzy and appear to be a type of Bond/Mission-Impossible/Bourne, but after a few episodes of the inane plot you will see how the script is senseless and the characters are plastic. If it weren't for the action scenes, great production and pretty faces this would be totally unwatchable. At the end of the day you need a believable story - or at least one plausible enough to suspend your belief.

The time jigging sequencing is somewhat creative and interesting, but confusing, and the basic premise that the writers thought would be compelling -- amnesia of the two main protagonists -- doesn't really work. Most importantly, the whole story is banal and anodyne.

This production proves once again the importance of good writing! Which was seriously lacking here. Once again, we've been served explosive action sequences, which are "fun" to watch, without much substance. As another imdb reviewer queried-- did Chat GPT script this mess?
