Very well executed

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

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

UC: UNDERCOVER was a very slick action-thriller that was heavy on complicated plots and very stylized cinematography. The first episode was a rollercoaster ride of action and excitement. The next few after that didn't quite live up to it, but once the season got going, things started picking up again. Oded Fehr was awesome as the team leader, displaying a terrific combination of mystery and coolness that made his character the most intriguing of the bunch. Jon Seda and the sexy Vera Farmiga were good as the team's pointmen, with Jarrad Paul and Bruklin Harris adding support as the information gatherers of the team. William Forsyth was a standout as Sonny Walker, the illusive criminal mastermind who always managed to elude the team. But my favorite episodes were the ones that dealt with the team going after other criminals.As I had expected, NBC cancelled it before the season was even over, but I do have to give them credit for at least airing two final finished episodes, especially since one of them featured a story that closed the door on the Sonny Walker subplot and gave fans at least that much amount of closure. I now regret not recording any of them, but maybe they're show up again somewhere in reruns for awhile. My Sunday nights are definitely boring now.

I've watched this program from the beginning. The characters are serious about what they do, but still show their human side. There is an intensity that keeps me wanting to watch more and more. I hear the show will be going on an "extended vacation." I'm glad we'll be able to watch at least 2 more episodes. Hopefully NBC will have a change of heart. The show has definitely been worth watching. More shows like this would be great.

Finally! A show that doesn't insult my intelligence. Okay, so I have to let my imagination run wild once in a while, but this is a show for thinkers. I wasn't expecting to like this show, but when I realized I was sitting on the edge of my seat, I knew I was hooked. I had to really listen to catch everything that was going on, laughing with Cody's (Jarrad Paul) comments, and, sometimes, cheering for the bad guys.The character development kept me coming back for more. We didn't have a five minute "this is my life" on any of the characters, esp. Donovan (Oded Fehr), the tough but caring leader. This man gives complex a whole new meaning! And we saw Jake (Jon Seda) go from a whiny, self-centered brat to a strong and capable, still a little uncertain, agent. Alex (Vera Farmiga) found her way as well, realizing that it's okay to be a little less than tough all the time.The music was great and led us right along the path the writers, producers, directors wanted us on. Some of the best music I've heard on television. Great guest stars, from William Forsythe, Ving Rhames, Wes Studi, etc. If you need a mini-action movie to get your week started, this was the place to be!The only problem I saw was that there was not enough of it! An hour wasn't enough time. At first, with the story arcs, that worked, but once they changed the format a little, to fit it all in, I wanted more! I highly recommend searching out and watching City on Fire, The Siege, Zero Options, and Hunting Armando. Powerful episodes that will keep you on the edge of the seat (and might have you sharing words with your television that you didn't know you knew!)

Watch the character and actor interaction. The intensity of the scenes. The intelligence of the dialogue and the characters who say it. This show isn't loaded with backhanded quips about the "Bad Guy", they're shown as being what most international king pins are, intelligent men and women who will destroy all who stand in their way. You must admit that having Oded Fehr play Frank Donovan was a stroke of genius. The man can act as cold-blooded as any of Shane Salerno's "Bad Guys". With his fledgling unit of, still as yet, untried agents, this cast of characters is phenomenal. They are growing right before our eyes. They are almost a cohesive unit...almost. Frank Donovan is a man from whom lines like, "If you don't give me what I want, I'm going to destroy your life", sound uncontrived. I can't think of another character, or actor, on television who could say that line without the viewers busting up with laughter. Instead this line had many of us creeping toward the edges of ours seats waiting to see the outcome the exchange. Ah...intense, well acted drama is so very hard to come by these days. Most of it is just so much lip service and crap. "UC:Undercover" is definitely not crap, it is the best television I have seen in many years. I have found myself loathing the end of each episode. I hate waiting the whole week for another high voltage storyline. I don't just mean the lines, or the actors, I mean the setting, the cinematography, the whole thing as it's captured by the crew, the editors and Shane and of course how it's portrayed by the actors. Watch UC March 23rd from 8-10PM ET
