beavis_el_bunghole Honestly, I am a harsh film critic and find the writing to always be the worst thing about films. But, the writing of this show is top notch. It blew me away and is far better than any other show i have watched from amazon probably all the network and cable shows. The irony is great and I believe I laughed out loud in every episode; let me tell you, it is very hard to get more than a chuckle out of me. The wit here is almost flawless. The execution of the edits and the direction are so well done. And the dialogue is mostly fantastic with perfect satire and pastiche while creating a truly emotional finale that is well built and hard earned and unexpected. Not to mention the perfect tightrope of sincerity walked by the actors who all deliver confidently and robustly, as though it were a big budget affair. You wouldnt know some of them arent star actors . Truly.Amazon is CRAZY to cancel this gem. They have so many insultingly garbage shows with bad acting and worse writing that get slapped together for second and third seasons. Thank god jcvd season 1 is so well written and planned that it works as a standalone without need for season 2. Amazon, shame on you for torching this fine piece of sincere emotional comedic satire. It is the only show you have that delivers. And it never resorts to filler. I cant say enough about this show. I love it.

rowantl So heartbroken that there are not more episodes or season two. I loved this show and so did my son. It was great on how he made fun of himself.

aakingrx I am loving this. I am not one to LOL very often, but I had to stop the treadmill for my own safety at points. I admit that I can't change the channel when Bloodsport is on so I am a bit of a JCVD fan. I am thrilled that he had this in him. Whoever conceived of the premise for this show deserves a serious pat on the back. This show is witty, smart, and totally delightful.

mrthevovan Life in a luxurious house, a trip on a segway for daily newspapers, and even pretty girls do not bring any moral pleasure to a Belgian. An unexpected meeting with an ex-girlfriend named Vanessa makes Van Damme come to his senses and return to service.But it's not just about renewing an acting career. It turns out that for many years Jean-Claude talently played the role of a movie star. In fact, all this time he worked as a secret agent under the pseudonym Johnson, and he was entrusted with extremely impossible and top-secret missions. The first mission makes it clear that during his vacation the super-spy managed to lose his former skills, but Van Damme is determined to prove that he is still a universal soldier and a hard target. An excellent attempt for the 57-year-old actor not only still playfully sit on the twine and perform a branded turning kick, but also with a self-irony look at all the ups and downs of his film career. But the main surprise for the audience is not the tremendous physical form of the Belgian, but his comedic talent. For Jean-Claude as if there are no taboo topics. He agrees to any gamble of screenwriters and he jokes both over his unsuccessful film projects and over the absolute box office hits like the "Timecop". He perfectly embodies different characters from a simple worker to an aging street racer. "Jean-Claude Van Johnson" confidently balances at the intersection of different genres and successfully ridicules all sorts of Hollywood cliches, which makes him a good gift for all fans of Van Damme, oldschool action movie, hilarious parodies and witty spy comedies.It remains to be hoped that this series will give a new impetus to the film career of this remarkable actor and he will continue to surprise us in new projects.
