NBC's 'Taken' Starts With Episode 1 Titled 'Pilot' As It Premieres on February 27: Clive Standen Portrays Agent Bryan Mills
Another thrilling series from NBC will premiere on February 27 as the "Taken" trilogy comes into its regular timeslot every Monday night. The crime/drama story of Agent Bryan Mills as portrayed by Liam Neeson in the big screen will star Clive Standen on the NBC series as the younger version of Neeson. NBC's "Taken" will still take the plot of an agent in pursuit of a deadly criminal whose only concern are his close relatives.
According to reports from SpoilersGuide, the premiere episode titled "Pilot" will start off with the murder of Bryan Mills' sister, leaving him in a state of mourning and a build up of pure revenge. His target, the dangerous cartel magnate, Carlos Mejia is at large and Christina Hart used Mills to catch him, then levied him for a new job. Bryan Mills then became an agent in a US intelligence agency which will purposely entail him to undergo dangerous missions and eventually jeopardizing the lives of his loved ones.
Clive Standen's role as the younger version of Bryan Mills might stir a little from its movie counterpart, making him more adamant on his plans of revenge. The challenge on his character must be to be able to balance his own agenda and focus well on the task at hand, which is more like the Bryan Mills in the movie. Letting his personal life get in the way of work may lead to a more serious, blood-thirsty fight that fans of "Taken" may not appreciate.
However, hopes are high as the same crime-fighting agent returns to solve government threats every episode and the same thrilling chase to search for his every abducted loved one. To catch the premiere of "Taken" online, here are some sites as reported by Streaming Observer News:
DIRECTV NOW - specific packages are available to watch NBC shows by online streaming.
Sling TV - via Sling Blue Option
PlayStation Vue - available on PS3/PS4, Apple and Android apps, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, and Chromecast, but streaming is tied on home locations only.
NBC's "Taken" will premiere on February 27 at 10 p.m. ET starring Clive Standen, Jennifer Beals, Gaius Charles with the ideas of Alexander Cary to bring the box office hit movie to the TV screen. Moviegoers who have watched every "Taken" franchise on the big screen will surely feel the nostalgia right at their homes.
