Info

Driven by the fact that there are few things more dangerous than a prisoner who has just escaped, and tired of following protocol and resorting to outdated methods of law enforcement, veteran U.S. Marshals Charlie Duchamp and Ray Zancanelli are taking an unorthodox approach to their work: using former fugitives to catch fugitives.

GazerRise Fantastic!
SincereFinest disgusting, overrated, pointless
AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Left_back There are plenty of cancelled series which break some people's hearts, but this is not one of them.The plotting is not new, and the stories could definitely use some better writers. One of the few things going for this show is that the actors are for the most part relatively unknowns, except for Serinda and Jimmy. I was expecting something between Leverage and Prison Break, but this was nothing like them.While there are several plot holes that beggar belief, the acting during Season 1 was fairly decent in terms of setting up the characters and their abilities. It would have been more believable if the writers would showcase the talents of the cons moreso while helping the marshals, then the focus on teamwork would be seen holding the crew together better than just a group of perps thrown together each episode to catch fugitives each time.Season 2 tried to step up the conflict and drama for the show, but killing a main character to shake things up ended up backfiring as crew careened around trying to fill the void of the leader. Again not enough use of the cons' talents were made of, as they mostly sat around discussing the cases. That for me was a real letdown as it would have been more interesting to see how each con displayed their 'A' game in order to catch the bad guy as opposed to just sitting in the car, which is what they ended up doing half the time.Not a bad series, but it could have been more.
SnoopyStyle Deputy U.S. Marshal Charlie Duchamp leads an experimental program recruiting convicts with special skills to track down criminals on the run. He is killed to start the second season. Former Marshall Ray Zancanelli is revealed to have a criminal past and given the chance to take over after Duchamp's death. Shea Daniels, Erica Reed, and Dr. Lloyd Lowery are convicts with specific skills. Assistant Julianne Simms is a former student struggling with anxiety issues.The pilot has Nicole Steinwedell and she had good chemistry. She was dropped and replaced with Serinda Swan. The group still has great chemistry and that's the show's main asset. It's very good especially for a police procedural. It looked good for one season and A&E renewed it for one more season. After Laz Alonso left the show for some reason, the group chemistry was altered and irretrievably damaged.
mambx I'm one of those people who, when a season of a TV show is cancelled or finishes, go on the prowl to look for my next show to watch religiously. This is one of them.At first I thought this show didn't have much potential and wouldn't be well received.. but i was wrong!Really interesting take on the genre, and I like the whole plot about using ex cons to take out cons, whilst working with the police dept. All the characters do well and I have to mention Doc, the quirky and fidgety character who really shines.I watched the Season 2 Premiere last night, and I was utterly shocked at the outcome, I was NOT expecting that at all. Not sure if I think this show will do well now because of that, but I'm certainly interested and intrigued to what will happen next, so I'm not going to spoil it for you folks, watch Season 2 Ep 1 and you'll see what I mean.Overall a really enjoyable show with likable characters, and I'll be watching this until it's cancelled.
Hannah Cordery There is virtually nothing wrong with this program. The cons are likable the story lines aren't recycled and the idea is creative, it's not predictable. The relationship between characters helps you connect easily, even the Marshall's have a story that in some way makes them less boring and all for the rules. Makes them as interesting as the cons who come across well, they are treated as they are suppose to as they are violent, they are real criminals they aren't in prison for petty crimes. Which makes the whole story more interesting to watch and intriguing when it gets down to what they will do. Overall it has the right amount of humour for this kind of program and the right amount of action and suspense not to make the story boring and repetitive.
