Admittedly, I watched the first episode entirely on the premise of Jeff Hephner's involvement. However over the past few episodes the show has merit.
Personally, I like Agent X for what the show is. It's a spy show with a campy edge. John Case is no James Bond, nor is Agent X a Bond Movie, and I think this is the aspect that hangs it for many viewers. When a viewer takes away this imaginary ideal for spy shows and movies set by James Bond and for many of us Growing Up Bond, this show becomes quite brilliant for what it is a campy spy show, with an endearing if a little classless Agent who falls comfortably between the Bond ideal and....Johnny English.
I think if everyone who tries to watch this show gives it a minimum of 8 episodes before casting judgments, will find themselves hooked and wanting more.
