Vigilante was the perfect action thriller. I binged the whole thing in one day.

If you’re looking for a show with an intricate plot and lots of backstory, this is not that show. Instead, it immediately jumps into the action and the plot goes at full speed until the very end. While I might have liked a little more backstory for some of the characters, the rapid pacing kept things from ever feeling stale.

Nam Joo-hyuk is fantastic (and ripped) in this role and I hope he does more action shows in the future. Even though a lot of his screen time is spent fighting, he gets to show his acting chops through some great scenes with very raw emotions. Similar to a lot of the characters in the show, I was rooting for vigilante the whole time.

The fight choreography was amazing. There is so much fighting in this show but I never felt bored. The show really ratcheted up the tension by having vigilante constantly on the verge of getting caught. All of the escape sequences had me on the edge of my seat.

The introduction of the copycat was genius. His character was hilarious and brought so much humor to a pretty dark show. The relationship between the vigilantes was one of the highlights of the whole show.

Vigilante was a great time and seems very underrated. They really set it up for a season 2 and I hope it happens!
