(S01E01-02) I had no idea what this show was (about) but I decided to watch it anyways, since I had it there. Turns out it is actually a mini-series, and it premiered with the two episodes back to back on July 22nd. Which also means episode 3 already aired as well, July 29, so I’ll have to catch up fast if I wanna see the next one on time.
The Kill Point airs Sundays at 9pm on SpikeTV, and is definitely a must-see TV.

(S01E03) After watching the two-episodes premiere of this new mini-series, it was pretty obvious that, despite some flaws, The Kill Point was a very promising show I was really enjoying.
Well, I just watched the third episode, and I’m still as enthusiastic as I was. It is still a great show. Doesn’t mean it is perfect or that I’m pleased with everything that happens, but overall the show still holds it pretty strong and delivers a good hour of television.
As it was highly predictable, this episode slowed down its flow of actions. But now that they’re stuck in the bank trying to figure out how to escape, with cops all over trying to figure out how to catch them, the time for the gunshots and rushing into actions is over, for now at least.

(S01E04) In the previous reviews of this show, I used to talk about all things that didn’t work, that weren’t good, yet I ended saying how good of a show it was. Well I won’t do this anymore.
I won’t, because I don’t feel that way no more. The show had a great potential, but I think it failed to pass it launch, it failed to keep up the tension and went into somewhat of a melodrama, it failed to avoid all the clichés of the genre, it failed to keep us interested & excited, and because it had such a great start it makes it even worst.

(S01E05) The more it goes, the more this show turns out to be a huge disappointment. It was introduced with a great two-hours premiere that was action packed, intense, and offered great promise for the future.
None of them actually came true, things got damn slow, and bad, and episode after episode it gets worst. Last time I ended hoping that, finally, things would actually happen during the next hour. Next hour it was, and nothing really happened, again.

(S01E06) I remember a time where I used to complain about the lack of action on The Kill Point. It seemed like they were getting ready, getting ready, almost there, then getting ready some more… but never went anywhere. Then last episode had me surprised, because things actually happened!
After weeks and weeks of planning and preparation, they finally did something! Of course it went nowhere, and even worse while in the middle of the action, there was no heat, no pressure, it didn’t work.
And this week, well this week was both the same and different.

(S01E07-08) I think I can sum it up in one word : wow! As in, wow, what the fuck was that!??
I was very excited after seeing the pilot of the mini-series, as I thought the pilot was pretty good, solid episodes packed with actions, intensity, and much promises. However every single episode since then had been nothing but a disappointment as things never actually evolved, not really. Everything felt flat, no action could ever took place, it was always falling down the same way, at the same time.
It was supposed to be a huit clos, at least the part within the back. Everyone was trapped in there, we would have expected tension to build up, a packed intensity to transpire from the screen, yet none of this ever happened.
