We're only just getting this series in Australia now, and I couldn't find a thread on it. The Transporter is played by Chris Vance, who had a role in Burn Notice as a shady guy who went out in an explosion. He's perhaps a little smarmy, but mostly pretty good. Plenty of the following: F bombs Titties Fast driving sequences Shooting Some callbacks to the movies Inspector Tarconi Lots of shooting Really fast car chases Did I mention shooting? And stunning women Rachel Skarsten was in ep 3. Wow. Just WOW. And in conclusion, any show that uses as its theme a cover of a Rush song ('Working Man') is all right in my book. It's fun, fast, escapist. Usually what I like about a show. Anyone else seen it?
This is definitely a series I want to check out, but here in Canada it's only aired on HBO, which is a premium channel I don't have. I'll have to wait till it turns up on something like Bravo or Showcase at some point.
I picked this up on a whim on Blu-ray when I was shopping in Austria back in December. It's a fun series and yeah, Skarsten looks amazing.
I'm hoping we get it in one form or another here in the states... I should check to see if it's on netflix... on edit.. Negative.. Booooo!
