Load of rubbish!!

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Shooter has fired off its final round; USA Network has opted to cancel the Ryan Phillippe drama after three seasons, our sister publication Variety reports. Shooter's third season is currently airing Thursdays at 10/9c, with five episodes still to run.Shooter this season is averaging 740,000 total viewers and just under a 0.2 demo rating, down sharply from Season 2's 1.25 mil/0.35.Based on the book series by Stephen Hunter, Shooter starred Phillippe (Secrets and Lies) as highly-decorated Marine Corps sniper Bob Lee Swagger, a man who was pulled back into the fray when his former commanding officer Isaac Johnson (played by ER's Omar Epps) asked for his assistance in preventing an assassination plot against the President of the United States. But when Swagger realized the truth - that he'd been set up to take the fall for another murder - he set out on a new mission to clear his name and keep his family safe. Subsequent seasons followed Swagger's rivalry with a nefarious colleague and the search for answers about his father's long-ago death, all while associates endeavor to uncover the truth about a cabal known as Atlas.Shooter's cast also included Shantel VanSanten (One Tree Hill) as Swagger's wife Julie, Cynthia Addai-Robinson (Arrow) as FBI Agent Nadine Memphis, Eddie McClintock (Bones) as nefarious figure Jack Payne, Josh Stewart (The Punisher) as a sniper named Solotov, Jesse Bradford (The West Wing) as Harris Downey, and Gerald McRaney (This Is Us) as Red Bama Sr.

Normally, most shows I get to a point where I am fast forwarding it to see what happens at the end but this show has kept me biting my nails most of the times so I haven't had to fast forward it for the entire 3 seasons...Worth it!

It follows more or less the arc of the movie but they made too many episodes. Parts of it are implausible and the characterizations of some of the roles are silly. But on the whole it's solid and holds together. All of these wounded hero movies rely on a hero who has a frustrating tendency to blindly trust people who have proven themselves to be untrustworthy. They also rely on no one ever asking to see see ID. The second season is I think a lot weaker. It's just the same story taken internationally with most of the same characters but this time they magically appear instantly wherever they're needed. The execs must have smoked some #metoo cuz they made the female characters snarkier and in charge of everyone everywhere. S2 is only 8 eps so your guess as is good as mine why.

Those who rated this show high probably didn't finish watching the first season. It started okay with a good story but then it turned into something ridiculous. it seems like no one in the show ever has a plan, they just keep bumping into each other anytime they want. Everyone wanted to kill everyone but when they do meet in person, they have a deal. Then they go back and plan on killing each other again. It was just like the video games that I played. I know I have at least 3 lives to spend. The main character faked death but soon lost his cover, but no one cared anymore and he called his wife anytime he wanted, had sex with his wife, and had a family picnic somewhere. it took everyone a looooong time to realize that maybe they should kidnap his family to get to him. Before that, no one was watching his family even though they all know the guy who tried to kill the president was still alive. Then again, he met with his enemies in battle field or in offices, and killed bunch of small pawns and left, before coming back tomorrow.
