Taken (TV Series)

"'Taken' is almost bad enough to make you wish NBC would just offer another Chicago spinoff. (...) Rating: ★ (out of 4)" 

"All you want to know, probably, is whether the TV series has the blunt effectiveness and visceral pull of the film and its sequels. It doesn't." 

"There are various matters of logic that 'Taken' asks the audience (...) to ignore, and, as a reward for doing so, it holds out the promise that the team's goals and the increasingly assured pacing will make the suspension of disbelief worth it." 

"I hold 'Taken' on no pedestal and yet whatever virtues the title denotes, the NBC series delivers none of them." 

"Nothing about the show matches expectations, making it a confounding (and largely boring) viewing experience."
