Jean-Claude Van Johnson (2016–2017)
8/10
Why do all the best shows get cancelled?
8 April 2021
I just came across this show and am so disappointed to watch it through with only one season to it.

I never was big on the 80s/90s action movies. I didn't dislike or like Jean Claude Van Damme but I never watched much of what he was in because I'm not into movies like what he used to do.

I haven't laughed so hard in a long time. The way all the inside jokes are done was just awesome. Even I got most of them not having actually watched most of his previous movies but just was familar with them. I don't laugh at self depreciating comedy. There's a huge difference between self depreciation and poking fun at oneself that many don't understand. I felt this show understood and did it well.

Beyond the comedy was lots of action for others that enjoy that. I actually enjoy the action in this because it doesn't take itself too seriously and I really enjoyed that too. Then a few really deep, emotional moments that I actually cried over.

I'm trying to be vague to not give any spoilers, but I just think everyone should watch this show. It had minimal issues that I saw, and is very sad that it got cancelled without a chance to get even better. It is sad how many other really crappy shows get 6, 7, 8, + seasons and the masses love them when they are garbage, yet a truly good show can't even get a 2nd season.
