Prime Video’s Countdown is one of those series that feels like a procedural, but is more like a law enforcement drama. Still, it’s the type of show that will probably interest anyone who watches cop procedurals. We are, after all, just starting the network TV hiatus. And if you’re itching for something to fill that Chicago P.D. or FBI void, this might be the thing.
Oh, and did we mention the show was created by Derek Haas, who you might remember from Chicago P.D. and FBI: International? And that it stars Supernatural‘s Jensen Ackles and Grey’s Anatomy‘s Eric Dane? Sounds like a show that knows what it is, or what audience it wants to draw.
Here’s everything we know about it.
