Re: The Bondsman [Action, Horror, Supernatural Horror, Drama]
Watched only the first episode so far...too early to tell. It was fun, but not funny. It had a good amount of action. The pacing was a bit too fast for my taste. Ethan Hawke delivers a good performance. Other characters haven't really had that much screen time to make a proper impression in EP01. Only 30min runtime makes me think the show will not have a lot of depth, but that's ok for this kinda show. ▼Spoiler That lady from Pot o' Gold made it sound like he finished off the priest-demon ? - If so, that was pretty disappointing.
Shows that deserved more runtime:
Abbys | Dead Like Me | Devs | Firefly | Gangsta. | Jack of all Trades | Kevin (probably) saves the World | Lodge 49 | Mrs. Davis | NYC 22 | Powerless | Roadkill | Special Unit 2 | Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi | Stumptown | Surface | The Brave | The Company You Keep | The Crazy Ones | The Finder | The Middleman | Truth Seekers | Two Weeks to Live | Whiskey Cavalier

Re: The Bondsman [Action, Horror, Supernatural Horror, Drama]
I'm enjoying it. Completely ridiculous and over the top, but it's an easy watch, very gory and the episodes are the right length.
2020. Meh.

Re: The Bondsman [Action, Horror, Supernatural Horror, Drama]
just figured out why i dont get it. The television series The Bondsman, starring Kevin Bacon as Hub Halloran, diverges significantly from the graphic novel's plotline. In the TV adaptation, Hub is a backwoods bounty hunter who is murdered and subsequently resurrected by a satanic corporation called Pot of Gold. His new mission is to capture escaped demons and return. This has nothing to do with The Bondsman novel. So i still hope fore the divine intervention in this series.
So help me god

I don't think the show claims to be an adaption of a comic book series?, at least can't remember reading it in the credits.

Hehe, we even got Dewey! Midway in Ep3, it is alright… could be done better. But honestly the first time I enjoy Kevin Bacon since Hollow Man.

S01E06... now I am sold... I call it the Ashpisode. And respect, where respect is due... lighting a match-stick with one hand? That takes skill! And a very nice - even though a bit predictable - season finisher. Hope it gets renewed.

Re: The Bondsman [Action, Horror, Supernatural Horror, Drama]
Finished the Season, it was ok...kinda had higher expectations tbh.
Overall a 3/5. Did not make me care for a second season. ▼Spoiler I didn't like the "family business" kinda vibe at all. I liked how he was the "go with the flow" type of person at the beginning.
But then his mama started researching online, where very very very conveniently there was a wikipedia entry for every type of demon they were hunting...ugh. The drama with his wife and son didn't interest me at all. This should've been a side-plot distracting him a little bit but it basically took over the entire show. And apart from the last episode the actual fights against the demons were too short and unimpressive.
