How this season is filed

Filed by Lana Reyes · Red Carpet Reality

Majors charm plus stunt-world celebration — action TV that actually tips its hat to the people who hit the ground. Colt Seavers moonlights as a bounty hunter between takes; Larson's truck jumps included. Theme song alone is a time machine. Post–Six Million Dollar Man reinvention, pure stunt poetry.
