Chuck - Season 1 Details

Comedic Espionage - Good for a CHUCKle

Basics: A 20 something computer repair guy, with a fairly uninteresting existence, gets drawn in to a dangerous and confusing world of spies and secretive governmental organisations when an unusual email subliminally fills his head with a plethora of sensitive information.

I've been watching this series on Sky over the last few weeks, and its been great fun. There are some great comedic moments and a nice variety of characters for us to love and hate (or love to hate), including Adam Baldwin playing a great role (John Casey), not entirely dissimilar to his 'Jayne' in Firefly. There's the stunning presence of Yvonne Strahovski (Sarah Walker), whom I'd never heard of until watching this show. You girls have some eye candy too, but the main backdrop of a computer repair section in an electrical superstore does not lend itself so much to the presence of fit men (perhaps a little too stereotypically).

Whilst featuring some action scenes, and being based around the world of espionage, there is a little something for everyone here and the show does not take itself too seriously.

Watch Chuck avoid death and destruction at every turn, whilst trying to maintain a normal life with his sister and her 'Awesome' boyfriend, as well as coping with the antics of Morgan and the rest of the Buy More superstore crew.

I would recommend anybody to at least take a look.

Chucking Brilliant!

If you are not able to grow to adore the excellent series that is Chuck, or at least be entertained by it, there is something quite wrong.

Although nowhere near as popular as other long running American series such as Heroes, Lost or House, Chuck surely must be regarded as a classic peice of TV for th noughties, just as Twin Peaks was for the 90's.

Falling somewhere strangely between Die Hard, Bond and Get Smart, Chucks quality lays in its failure to take its self too seriously.

With a perfect mix of well acted humour, intellegent story lines and explosive action sequences, Chuck delivers all out entertainment on every level.

Infact, I'd have to go as far as to say that Chuck seaon cannot really be bettered... until season 2 that is.
