I started COUNTDOWN on the Primes. Starring Jensen Ackles, Eric Dane, and
Jessica Camacho (the girl who crashed into me on my bike in Santa Monica)
about an FBI task force in L.A. trying to track down a WMD on a ticking
clock.

I've made it for the first two episodes. It was okay except for the
flashback scenes as those seemed to drag on forever to me even though
they were relatively short.

It was okay. Typical Hollywood stereotypes of cops and police work--
everyone's improbably attractive, all action, no paperwork or real
investigating. And when they catch the bad guys-- if they're still alive--
they do the standard Hollywood cop thing of immediately handing them off to
the nearest no-name officer in uniform and totally forget about him. No
booking, no paperwork, no taking him to his arraignment, nothing. But the
girls are cute and the stunts are decent, so I'll stick with it for now.

I also got in the first few episodes of REVIVAL, where people who died
on a given day magically come back to life dressed in the clothes they
had on when they died. Amazingly enough they heal from any damage even
having their head cleaved in half but otherwise seem perfectly normal.

Lastly I guess I'll mention the last couple of episodes of RICK &
MORTY being typical Rick & Morty episodes
