Absurdly brilliant self satire comedy......

Cast in the right context self satire is a great vehicle for comedy.

Jean Claude Van Johnson is an absurdly brilliant example of comedic self satire. Nineteen nineties action star Jean Claude Van Damme takes the mickey out of middle age, the absence of "top shelf" acting roles and his own "star" status.

What surprised me is that Van Damme really does have scope as an actor. His exhausted, wearied and somehow ironic "acceptance" of the world we all face with increasing age is convincing. As is his mid- life "crisis" ignited by an encounter with an old flame.

Lots of absurd fun ensues with our hero being revealed as a genuine "over the hill" secret agent. Its wonderfully silly stuff and Van Damme pulls no punches in making fun of the genre that made him a household name back in the day.

I truly hope this episode heralds the start of a series. Its fresh, original, honest and at times rather witty. Eight out of ten from me.

The first episode premiered on Amazon.com's Prime subscription streaming service on August 19, 2016. It was part of the first Comedy Pilot Season, an extension of the popular and ongoing "choose your own programming" experiment known as Pilot Season. The three half-hour comedies included I Love Dick (2016), The Tick (2016) and Pilot (2016). Subscribers vote on which of the three series will be picked up based on just the first episode/pilots.

Jean-Claude Van Damme: My name is Jean-Clade Van Damme. I used to be super famous. Perhaps you remember my first starring role in Bloodsport. It is on television all of the time. Or maybe you've seen Timecop, which is like Looper starring Bruce Willis, but like a million times better.
