Jensen Ackles and Eric Dane’s Thriller Is a Snooze

Jensen Ackles and Eric Dane’s Thriller Is a Snooze

Prime Video has teamed up with “Chicago Fire” and “Chicago PD” creator Derek Haas for a thrilling new crime drama titled “Countdown.” The show follows an elite task force led by FBI Special Agent Nathan Blythe, played by Eric Dane, as they work together to track down a murderer who has killed a beloved Department of Homeland Security officer in broad daylight. The team is made up of various law enforcement agents, including LAPD detective Mark Meachum, played by Jensen Ackles, DEA Special Agent Amber Oliveras, portrayed by Jessica Camacho, DHS Office Damon Drew, played by Jonathan Togo, FBI Special Agent Keyonte Bell, portrayed by Elliot Knight, FBI Special Agent Evan Shepard, portrayed by Violett Beane, and LAPD Detective Lucas Finau, played by Uli Latukefu. What starts off as a mission to catch one culprit soon uncovers a much larger, global conspiracy that has been brewing for years.

The 13-episode first season of “Countdown” kicks off with a bang as Department of Homeland Security customs agent Robert Dardin, played by Milo Ventimiglia, is fatally shot while trying to escape a dangerous situation. This tragic event prompts Blythe to form Task Force Hurricane, an underground operation dedicated to finding Dardin’s killer. As the team delves into Dardin’s past and follows a trail of clues that lead them to Mexican drug cartels, corrupt officials, and international intrigue, they soon realize that the case is much more complex than they initially thought.

Throughout the season, viewers get glimpses into the personal lives of the task force members, adding depth to their characters and shedding light on their motivations. However, despite these efforts, the show struggles to maintain momentum. The main storyline of tracking down the killer becomes drawn out and loses its initial intrigue as the season progresses. The pacing of the show feels off, with too much focus on individual character backstories that do little to enhance the main plot.

One of the main criticisms of “Countdown” is its lackluster execution of the task force’s mission. The season could have benefited from a tighter edit, with fewer episodes to streamline the narrative and keep the audience engaged. Additionally, the large ensemble cast of characters feels overwhelming at times, with some members receiving more attention than others, leading to uneven storytelling.

Despite its promising premise and talented cast, “Countdown” falls short of delivering a truly captivating crime drama. The show’s failure to maintain a sense of urgency and excitement throughout the season ultimately hinders its impact. While there are hints of a more intriguing storyline in the later episodes, it remains to be seen if “Countdown” can redeem itself in the remaining episodes.

“Countdown” premieres on Prime Video on June 25, with new episodes releasing weekly on Wednesdays. Fans of crime dramas may find some enjoyment in the series, but for those looking for a more compelling and dynamic storyline, “Countdown” may not live up to expectations.
