JCVD

[Drunk Monk]

Seen. It's only 6 30 min eps including the pilot so not like trying to binge season upon season of many other shows. The pilot remains the strongest. The rest of the season has moments of hysterical JCVD self deprecating parody as well as examples of JCVD actually acting. His face has matured to deliver some surprisingly emotional moments given the absurd context. Fight choreography is unimpressive, but there's some colorful sanguinous moments. And it goes a lot of places because the distinction between JCVD and JCVJ is muddled by SPOILER jcvv, filip & time cop END SPOILER. The pacing kept me invested because just as it might slide into a mediocre actioner, some funny JCVD nod would play out and make me grin. I imagine it really only works if you have a good grasp of JCVD and his legacy. If you liked the film JCVD (2008), I recommend this. If you haven't seen that, you should. Otherwise, give this a pass.
