I've watched all six of Jean Claude Van Johnson and I can't recommend the series. I still recommend the pilot. It got tough to watch 10 minutes into the second episode. I skipped forward several minutes. Van Damme is supposed to be love smitten but I don't buy it. The plot is too forced. I did get one good loud laugh in the second episode and also the third. The last episodes largely lack humor as they try to wrap up the episodes. It seems pilots are starting points and the series gets its legs after a few strides. Jean Claude Van Johnson climaxes in the pilot and never develops much energy after that.
