I thought it was a very solid effort, I was very surprised that Ryan Phillippe could actually pull it off as I'm not a big fan of his acting in the past.
I am one of the few people apparently that thought the movie Shooter was terrible. Over-the-top political and Mark Wahlberg is even prettier than Ryan Phillipe.
A few of the very negative reviews hadn't watched very much of the series. I agree that the first episode or maybe even the first two took a while to drag me in. But by the third and fourth series I was totally shocked. He comes back on Netflix tonight and I can't wait to watch it again. Maybe I'll be disappointed in season 3 But I hope not. If you haven't seen it give it a try.
