I always seem to like International ventures for shows. Gives a well rounded mix of talent and some exposure to other cultures.
The fight choreography and stunts (mainly with cars) is top notch, even compared to films. Quite diverse in the use of camera angles and placement for many scenes as well.
There is a thread comparing it to Burn Notice, but honestly that show cannot hold a candle to the above statements.
Vance seems to have taken the role as more of a Bond-esque character, which is fine. Statham was always cool-headed, charming etc, so I feel it is fitting.
Like Bond, he does seem to 'deliver a package' regularly.
Has some T&A for the demographic its targeted at. The French are far from prudes, so I think its a good fit.
Some don't seem to like it due to plot/writing. It delivers where it is focused on, and you could say (the other) about almost any show on TV these days :)
