Has anyone seen the new show, Johnny Zero? Any feedback?
It's made by the guy who produced ER, and what I saw of it, it seems to be very gritty and innovative.

I didn't catch last Friday's show.

1. It has some offbeat humor
and kind of mocks some extreme situations. I might like it = but its hard to say if they can keep it going over a whole season - let alone many. Right now the guy is kind of a loveable loser - time will tell.

2. How was the last show?
I unfortunately missed it. The first one I saw was eerily intriguing, with an odd mixture of grit and tenderness.

4. Addition - I also like the idea
Nice plot to have a former criminal go back and help others in the neighborhood. I still can't figure out the role of the wisecracking sidekick, but the main guy seems like a good guy to build a show around.

5. I thought the sidekick is his brother.
I also thought that he may have been caught up criminally, but was doing it as some kind of undercover guy.

I only saw the first episode so I know I missed alot from Friday. I like good offbeat humor. I loathe formulaic drivel.

12. I think so
He boxes a lot, so you should get your wish. Just curious, was he some sort of singer or something before the show? I had never heard of him, but the show was marketed as if he was someone well known.

17. He was in a few movies
I just Googled him and it said he was in "The Italian Job" and that John Holmes porn movie "Wonderland"

He might've been on Spanish movies, TV before.

15. He was in some movie that I saw and I quickly noticed
how hot he was. Can't think of the movie right now. It was some urban action movie, I believe.

Let me go ask Google.
