Transporter: The Series: 2B or Not 2B (2014)
The Deficiencies of the Season 2 Opener
The succession of Carla Valeri (Andrea Osvart) by the comparably beautiful Caterina Boldieu (Violante Placido), as assistant to Frank Martin (Chris Vance), was a satisfactory conduit for a smooth transition from Season 1 to Season 2. By stark contrast, the heartbreaking and ugly demise of the lovable Dieter Hausmann (Charly Hubner) was entirely gratuitous and over-the- top! It effectively tore out the heart of the show, robbing it of its distinctive character and flavor, and reducing it to the typical, bland, one-dimensional crime drama (as in boring). With Dieter's automotive expertise, dedication to his calling, and big heart, the script-possibilities were virtually limitless. I mean, where can you find so sweet a character, whose relationship with his automotive charges was tantamount to a love affair? Just like his relationship with his human charge. Well, now the possibilities are severely constrained. You just might have misjudged the intellect and sensitivity of TNT viewers. The prediction of this viewer: If TNT does not cancel the Series prior to the completion of Season 2, then, most certainly, the show will never see a Season 3! Now we can just sit back and see what actually happens.
