The creator of NBC’s “Chicago” series has introduced a new crime thriller on Prime Video called “Countdown.”
Currently, you can watch the first three episodes, with new ones released weekly throughout the summer.
This series revolves around LAPD detective Mark Meetham, played by Jensen Ackles, as he collaborates with various secret agents and task forces to solve the murder of a Homeland Security Officer. Their investigation uncovers a complex scheme, and they race against time to protect millions. The stakes are high, which adds to the tension, I think.
Alongside Ackles, who is known for his long stint on “Supernatural,” the cast includes Eric Dane, who has spoken about his battles with ALS prior to the show’s debut. It’s quite touching, really.
Release Date for “Countdown”:
“Countdown” is already available for viewing, having premiered its first three episodes on June 25th.
New episodes will continue to be released every Wednesday until September 3rd.
How to Watch “Countdown” for Free:
As an Amazon original, “Countdown” is exclusively available on Prime Video, meaning you need a Prime membership.
If you’re not a member, you can take advantage of a 30-day free trial which includes Prime Video, alongside benefits like free two-day shipping. After the trial, a monthly subscription is $14.99, or you can pay $139 for the year.
Also, there’s a discount for younger adults aged 18 to 24. After six months at no cost, you’ll only need to pay half the standard monthly fee ($7.49). Quite a deal, really.
