Shooter (TV Series)

"It’s a sturdy set-up for an action-thriller (...) Unfortunately (...) 'Shooter' doesn’t wring the greatest potential rewards from that set-up. Part of the problem is that the drama touches on a host of hot-button issues without having much of anything to say about them." 

"He's a good man good with a rifle. And this good man good with a rifle will do anything to protect his good family. If that introduction to USA Network's new series 'Shooter' comes off as tedious, I've done my job." 

"Hunter’s novel, and lead character, still provide a strong framework that can indeed be stretched." 

"A Fugitive chase and revenge thriller gets underway, playing out over 10 efficiently exciting if unremarkable episodes." 

"Although the pilot sets up a potentially provocative scenario in which a law-abiding gun owner becomes an object of government suspicion, 'Shooter' ultimately feels diluted and toothless."
