Shooter Season 1

DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:

Bob Lee Swagger (Ryan Phillippe) has long retired from his job as a Marine Corps sniper. But when his former commanding officer Isaac Johnson (Omar Epps), who now works in the Secret Service, asks him to scout for potential sniper nests in Seattle in time for the U.S. president’s visit, he says yes to the job. However, when the Ukrainian president dies from a sniper shot in Seattle, Bob Lee becomes the primary suspect. Bob Lee must go on the run to prove his innocence and, with the help of unlikely allies, uncover a Secret Service conspiracy while protecting his family. Joining Phillippe and Epps in “Shooter” are

Lady Mary, how could you?

That would be a natural response from Downton Abbey devotees, who might well be shocked to see the chic, Emmy-nominated Michelle Dockery gleefully plunging into a Southern Gothic underworld of sex, drugs, booze and larceny, sporting wigs to rival The Americans’ Keri Russell. Obviously, calling this series Good Behavior (based on a series of novellas by Blake Crouch) is meant to be ironic.

t’s easy to see why the role of flamboyantly self-destructive grifter Letty Raines would appeal to an actress yearning to play against starched period stereotype. Listening to self-affirmation tapes with seemingly deaf ears between heists, she’s an emotional wreck even before her path crosses that of Argentine hottie hit man Javier (a smoldering Juan Diego Botto). Yearning to be reunited with the son now being raised by her unsympathetic mother (Lusia Strus), Letty would like to go straight, at the urging of her sympathetic parole office (Terry Kinney, reliably terrific), but the first few episodes so glorify bad behavior you sense that won’t happen soon if ever.

Deception is foreplay as Letty keeps trying to escape Javier’s fatalistic spell, only to have him pull her back in—often to bed. Their playfully perverse, masochistic 50 Shades of Huh? relationship makes for a ludicrous but enjoyably steamy and sordid noir thriller, TNT’s latest overwrought walk on the dark and wild side. For the record, the misbehaving Dockery seems to be having the time of her life. Whether the viewer can suspend disbelief long enough to enjoy the ride remains to be seen.

If you’ve been anticipating the Ryan Phillippe drama Shooter since USA Network announced its development, this Tuesday night marked the end of a very long wait.

Based on the Stephen Hunter novel Point of Impact and the 2007 Mark Wahlberg film, Shooter was pushed back twice from its original July 19 premiere date, due to real-life gun violence in Dallas and Baton Rouge.

So, was the show’s eventual launch everything you’d hoped?

The series premiere introduces us to Bob Lee Swagger (Secrets and Lies‘ Phillippe), an ex-Marine and expert marksman who ran snipers for the Corps. Now living on a beautiful piece of waterfront property with his wife and daughter, Bob Lee mostly uses his gun know-how these days to set wolves free from hunting traps. That is, until he’s approached by Capt. Isaac Johnson (House‘s Omar Epps), a longtime friend who worked with Bob Lee in the Marines and is now a Secret Service agent.
