Ahh. Christian Kane, looking exasperated and kicking ass.
There's really nothing new on Almost Paradise Season 1 Episode 1.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
This new Wgn American original series marked the third time that the charismatic Kane has collaborated with producer Dean Devlin, following The Librarians and Leverage.
It's shot on location in The Philippines, so the scenery is so much more breathtaking than the stuffy Library where Kane last toiled.
That's a bonus for us viewers stuck in states where winter just won't let go.
For some reason, this reminded me of the old "Crimetime After Primetime" series Tropical Heat/Sweating Bullets (depending on where you watched it), another crime-solving show set in sunny climes.
Kane plays retired DEA Agent Alex Walker, another antihero seeking redemption, much like Eliot Spencer on Leverage.
Fortunately, Devlin has chosen to slowly reveal Alex's back story, rather than just drop it all in an exposition-heavy pilot.
