  • Ended

The O.C. creator Josh Schwartz and director McG (We Are Marshall) bring us Chuck, a series laced with humor about young twenty-something spies. Zachary Levi (Less Than Perfect) plays Chuck Bartowski, a nerdy computer tech who has a database of government secrets downloaded into his brain. Chuck soon finds himself recruited by John Casey (Adam Baldwin), a veteran NSA Agent who now works with the CIA, for espionage work with his new partner (and first date in 10 years) Sarah (Yvonne Strahovski) - leading Chuck to live a split life of computer geek and secret CIA missions.

    "Perfect"
    I was recommended by a friend to check out this series and I am forever grateful to him! I was instantly engaged with the first episode and the entire series is amazing. There hasn't been a series that disappointed me. Chuck is a mix of everything you need: action, suspense, romance and comedy. Sarah Walker is a kick ass agent and Chuck is so naive that it's adorable. I was heartbroken when I heard that it would be canceled after it's 5th season. However in regards to its series ending episode, it was perfection. I cried and I thought it was a fantastic way to end the series. A must watch!moreless
  • Emotionally Harrowing and Satisfying

    While I have not finished watching yet - I am six episodes into the fifth season - my opinion of the show is solidly formed: pure perfection. I don't get emotionally invested when it comes to television. Movies, tv shows, it doesn't matter; I watch them, maybe think a little about what I just watched - if the material in question is really good - and that's it. End of story. I move on to something else.

    Chuck is different. It may be billed as comedy, romance et cetera, but don't let that fool you. This is not a show to watch if your goal is to de-stress, unwind, lift your spirits, or just kick back and let your thoughts wonder. This show will at some points turn you into an emotional wreck, really put a damper on your mood, and have you dread the next scene. At other times, you will feel euphoric and brimming with joy. Chuck is masterful at what it wants to do: provoke an emotional response from the viewer. You will cherish every second spent in the wonderful world of Chuck. I am just glad I chose to start watching after all five seasons had already aired. Suspense would be crushing with all the assorted cliffhangers and twists. Be mindful, these are great cliffhangers in a great story. Music too is divine - one of my most played playlists.

    None of the above would be possible without the magnificent cast. Whoever was in charge of casting should have their name etched in gold. Yvonne Strahovski and Zachary Levi are a match made in Heaven. Chemistry between them is amazing, and that is the reason this show is so good. Quips, fights, cold feet, awkward and embarrasing situations, skewed communication, and genuine showing of love and emotions between characters. It's all there, and it's all believable thanks to the great acting skills of these two. To be honest, I'd be perfectly happy watching a show with just the two of them on screen. I really hope Yvonne Strahovski lands another great role on another successful show very soon. She deserves it, and I hope that the fact she isn't American actress doesn't hinder her career in any way.

    Something my girlfriend said while we were watching the show really stuck with me. She said that this was not a comedy, it is in fact a road map of relationships. Every couple will tell you that practically every situation on this show arose in their relationship at some point. Ok, not the spy stuff, unless you indeed work for the intelligence agency. And that is what makes it so great. That and seeing the unconventional ways Sarah and Chuck deal with those bumps on their road to happiness, while bullets, or, more likely; tranq darts are flying above their heads.

    As I said already, I haven't finished watching yet (in confidence, I'm stalling because I don't want it to end), but I sense that they will not get their picket fence house with the red door, and it will all probably end on the ominous note. Even though I'll end up sad if my predictions turn true, this show is probably the best I've ever watched (even more engaging than the Game of Thrones). I am thankful for a great journey, no matter how it ends, and I will return to this show every once in a while.

    Slight edit after finishing watching the show. The ending is perfect. True, it is sad. But it is also a happy one. Things have gone full circle. Memories were lost forever... or are they? Either way, after they get their toes out of the sand, Sarah and Chuck will create new ones, and find their love again. Perfect ending for a perfect show.

    I recommend you watch it and savor every moment. Try to take it slow, if you can. It will last you longer. :)moreless
