Why can't the networks make a good action based show?

The only one mildly OK is Taken with Jennifer Beals (produced by Luc Besson)

The rest are wishy washy mixed bag crappola.

...you forgot vs Valor.

It seem they are all in the same bar / drug house when they come up with these shows, and they piggyback each other, dumb them down as much as they can, and shovel it to the studios who will pay them millions for it, rinse & repeat.

Valor might be the worse one.

Meh...I watch all of those. (Except Valor...which I would watch if I hadn’t missed the first several episodes...and can’t find on-demand)

While NONE are perfect, they’re all ok.

I don’t understand why Jennifer Beals keeps getting gigs...she’s not a very good actress...she ALWAYS sounds like she’s...reading...her...lines.

You could try Strike Back. It's a Cinemax show but available for streaming on some of the platforms

They probably can't afford the time to set up stunts right?

Person of Interest used to be a good action show.

I like The Brave and Seal Team. Cant stand Valor even though she is hot. SWAT has gotten a little better if you ignore the superhuman stunts every week. 9-1-1 is even worse.
