If you can get past the ridiculous premise, excuse the hokey dialogue, and simply enjoy it for what it is, Agent X is a surprisingly entertaining ride.

The plots take an unexpectedly heavy turn, but its hero keeps playing an average nice guy. Viewers will probably have no idea how to react.

It is breathtakingly inept.

Agent X isn't the dull affair it could be. With a few injections of much-needed humor, nimble hand-to-hand combat scenes... and a few clever plot twists, the show isn't lazy. It's like a tasty frozen pizza: decent for what it is.

Despite its nicely shot action scenes, Agent X is just more of the same. Unlike Piper Perabo's Covert Affairs, which also had a light touch, there's no attention to character here, just guns and mouths shooting off.

I am intrigued about all three of the main characters. I am also loving that John Shea is back on the small screen and portraying the President of the United States.

The series boasts an impressive cast but its dramatic narrative is so preposterous and its presentation is so clumsy that it's likely to provoke a laugh-out-loud reaction its creators clearly never sought or expected.

Between the wooden characters, simplistic conflict and the generally low-budget feel, Agent X often plays more like a show from 1995 than 2015.

Bursts of violence aside, "Agent X" doesn't work well as an action thriller. And while watching it for comedy, intentional or not, is more enjoyable, that's probably no reason to tune in every week.

It plays like a spoof, from the absurd premise to the cheap sets and bad acting. What can I say? After bristling at the poor quality, I settled for camp-watching the show, and I had a few Sharknado-like laughs.
