I've been praising it since the pilot. I LOVE the movie franchise. All 4 films are tremendous. I loved the way each film added a character or two, and the fact that everyone from the first film, was there for the next 3. They just kept building.
I was skeptical of a TV show re-capturing that. But IMO, they have honored the films, but also changed and created their own story, in a way that doesn't render the films meaningless.
Trish got upgraded, looks and money wise. They have WAY worsened the hurt/pain regarding Riggs and the loss of his wife. Like, you almost want him to end it already.
They changed his relationship with the therapist, but still left it playful for Riggs just as it was in the movies, only, now he actually does get help from her. It has really been interesting. Now they are connecting storylines, giving a bigger arc to things, bringing in new characters, it's been a lot of fun.
It's not Breaking Bad, it's not Game of Thrones, it will never win Emmy's or anything like that, please understand that up front, but for what it is, it is really fun, and goes along with the films quiet well. I've really enjoyed it and hope it lasts a couple years to see where they can really go with it.
