About this show

TAKEN is a modern-day, edge-of-your-seat thriller that follows the origin story of younger, hungrier former Green Beret Bryan Mills as he deals with a personal tragedy that shakes his world. As he fights to overcome the trauma of the incident and exact revenge, Mills is pulled into a career as a secret government operative, a job that awakens his very particular, and very dangerous, set of skills. In 30 years, this character is destined to become the Bryan Mills that we've come to love from the "Taken" films.

Season 1 is a great retelling that shows Bryan as highly skilled, but emotional and raw, and gives him a lot of growth as a character. Unfortunately, season 2 changes about 75% of the premise of the show, replacing a majority of the main cast and becoming more of a weekly "watch Bryan kick butt" show that's just much less interesting to watch.
