I have no idea who the hell watched [The Bourne |
||||||
|
Identity](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0258463/) and thought the cool part |
||||||
|
wasn't Bourne/Matt Damon lightning reflexes or his uncanny ability to find an |
||||||
|
escape, but actually the bureaucracy that created him. Probably Barney |
||||||
|
Stinson[^1]. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In a way, the series was doomed by its own format: While in a movie the actors |
||||||
|
can film the "easy" scenes first while they train to do the most action heavy |
||||||
|
scenes, in a series they don't have that luxury: This is the episode, and this |
||||||
|
is what it will happen. There is no time for practicing some martial art or |
||||||
|
take time training the movements in a scene over and over; there is very little |
||||||
|
time between episodes and even littler time for this kind of stuff. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
That's not to say that there isn't any action; there is. But is far away from |
||||||
|
Damon's character kicking ass with a magazine. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
So, the only remaining thing is the bureau and its problem. And that is a |
||||||
|
complete drag, not even making it interesting in a mystery kind of way. |
||||||
|
Unexpected things are happening, but the bureau moves in the pace of, well, |
||||||
|
bureaucracy. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
There is a cliffhanger in the end of the only season, and it is not even good. |

[^1]: For those who haven't seen "[How I Met Your |
||||||
|
Mother](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_I_Met_Your_Mother)", there was a |
||||||
|
running gag in which the character played by Neil Patrick Harris named |
||||||
|
"Barney" would say that the real "Karate Kid" was the blonde kid played by |
||||||
|
William Zabka, and that the character played by Ralph Macchio was, actually, |
||||||
|
the bad guy. |
