Jean-Claude Van Johnson

An excellent, sit back and relax series with the muscleman from Brussels, not just for his staunch fans. JCVJ is packed full of movie references and crazy twists. In places it’s a parody on Bond movies, but it has an inner logic which the creators can cram in even the most crackpot idea almost in Future Man style. I’m a little sad that Amazon did not run the series for a second season, but this way Van Varenberg can give up while the going’s good. (02/04/2018)

I wouldn’t object if Jean-Claude would just walk around the block dealing with everyday problems. At least from time to time. This might turn into a nice satire on the lives of movie stars, combined with comedy spy inserts. Reaching out for the classic crutches used in action movies, a dumb love interest storyline, everything is well balanced. On the brink of parody. I would certainly like to see at least one season of this. They mustn’t be afraid of shelling out money for some more daring movies. JCVD enjoys himself in this role, after all, it’s written for him alone. (08/26/2016)
