I watched the Van Damme pilot and speak as someone who has never knowingly watched any of his films. I'm more likely to know him from bad beer commercials, and a truck ad.
I confess that I only found it moderately amusing, and frankly couldn't see where they could possibly take this were it to go to series. The premise is clearly ludicrous, but that's not really the problem. It felt like a long sketch rather than setting up a full series. And it's beginning to annoy me more and more that there's such an age disparity between leading man and his love interest. Van Damme is 55, and looks it, while his potential love interest in this is 38. Not the most egregious age difference ever, but enough to annoy me. And in the opening scene Van Damme is shown basically kicking out of his house, some one-night stand, again clearly 20 or more years younger than him. I know it's a comedy, but I kind of get fed up. There's plenty enough much better TV for my attention.
