Rarely does a TV series surpass its source material but this new version of "Taken" does just that.
While the target audience will probably dig the extensive action sequences and vivid violence, there’s no reason anyone else should be “Taken” for a ride.
A conveyor belt of death-defying and death-dispensing action scenes.
Procedurals subsist on personalities, and for now, Taken has none: Mills is a vacuum with fists and a dead sister to avenge, while the character of Hart amounts to “serious politics woman with occasional glasses.” The rest of their team could be recast with different actors for every episode without anyone noticing.
After a confusing but mildly interesting premiere that establishes why the young Bryan Mills (Clive Standen) becomes a government operative with a taste for vigilantism, Taken reverts to broadcast-network guns-and-gizmos formula.
Nothing about the show matches expectations, making it a confounding (and largely boring) viewing experience.
[Taken] is like a parody of a TV action drama. ... Except a parody wouldn’t be so boring, so unintentionally illogical, so unmemorable, and so labored. Really, Taken is a mess of a network show.
