Harry S @RT19865103 09/08/2024 This series has nothing in common with the movie. It is a lengthy rambling series that has no center and keeps shifting from overdone story plot to the next. This "family on the run" plot has been done in several series like the Americans , or Ozark. But those series actually made some sense, and didn't have plot holes miles wide. The lengthy introduction over 4 episodes, of the characters and to the family members and their situations is so ridiculous that your belief in some kind of realism goes out the window. For instance they are crossing the Mexican desert to pick up a cell phone signal because Justin Theroux's character just happens to be this genius who can turn a power antenna into a cellphone attachment! I kept watching and it got no better. Unreal and hard to believe situations, for instance , ending up in some expatriate colony in the Mexican jungle, only to find this so called jungle village is just down the river from a city with rock n roll bar filled with gangsters? FBI agents going down into Mexico to find the fugitive family with no back up? The whole thing is just so poorly written and illogical. A waste of watching time. Re watch the Americans again.

Don't watch this show See more Chris T @RT00516332 04/30/2024 Having loved the book, I was disappointed when I watched the movie adaptation with Harrison Ford, many years ago. I had high hopes for this one, since the author was involved and his nephew plays the leading role. But I was misled. He did it for the money. The show has little to nothing to do with the book. If you watch it without having read the book, you might enjoy parts of it.

This series is just some typical retread of the story in chewing gum for the brain fashion, dragging it out in slow moving episodes with thoughtless deaths in the families path. This distracts from the original themes in the book/movie and makes it silly. Adding to it the mystery made up of running away from the cops for some unknown reason, which has nothing to do with the original story. I shut it off by the beginning of th esecond episode.

The characters' plots are nearly inconceivable and the extremes of storyline are wild. See more Read all reviews
