| Synopsis:
When Chuck Bartowski (series star ZACHARY LEVI) opens an e-mail subliminally encoded with government secrets, he unwittingly downloads an entire server of sensitive data into his brain. Now, the fate of the world lies in the unlikely hands of a guy who works at a Buy More Electronics store with his best buddy, Morgan Grimes (series star JOSHUA GOMEZ), and who lives with his ever-supportive sister, Ellie (series star SARAH LANCASTER). Instead of fighting computer viruses, Chuck must now confront assassins and international terrorists. With the government's most precious secrets in Chuck's head, Major John Casey (series star ADAM BALDWIN) of the National Security Agency assumes the responsibility of protecting him. His partner is the CIA's top agent -- and Chuck's first date in years -- Sarah Walker (series star YVONNE STRAHOVSKI). They'll try to keep him safe when he trades his pocket protector for a bulletproof vest. |

 Fantastic Casting October 27, 2008
M. Capps Jr. (Mannheim, Germany)
The premise is rediculous, but the show is cast so well, that you forgive everything. You simply want to spend more time with these people. Levi is incredibly relatable and Strahovski is so beautiful you instantly fall in love. Every time she enters the Buy More you get just as breathless as Chuck does. I like all the supporting charaters from Morgan to Big Mike. It does remind me a little of Scrubs with the great music and nerd comedy, but it's the casting that puts it on a new level.
Chuck Versus the Seduction October 11, 2008
Meloria54 (MO, USA)
First show of season 2 - WOW! Really good. As before, funny, clever, great lead characters and Chuck is a real honey. Plus, I've gotta say the bad guys are great - especially in this particular show.
 Sound from one channel only October 10, 2008
R. Leeper
The show was great as always, however the file comes with only the left sound, not even stereo?
Favorite new show aside from Pushing Daisies October 8, 2008
David N. Malarkey
Chuck is a truly fun and wonderfully funny show about spies and slap-stick comedy, with the faintest hint of romance.
For those that are drawn to shows for their music, you will not be let down if you like quirky modern music. It has lots of great stuff from Iggy Pop to Beck, with great thematic contributions from Cake and Teddybears. If you are interested in more info on what songs/artist can be heard on particular episodes I recommend searching for some selection of the following: chuck tv series trivia featured music.
Enjoyable for someone who does not watch TV October 3, 2008
Paul Kimelman (Alamo, CA USA)
My teenage daughter got the 1st DVD at the video rental place. I do not watch TV (other than news) and so had no interest. But, she talked me into watching the pilot. It is a very well done show with a good blend of humor, action, and developing personalities and relationships. The comedy is not that stupid situation comedy stuff (lying and then spending the rest of the show trying to cover up the lies, etc), but more in terms of oddball personalities and quirks, stereotypes hammed up for laughs, and the like. The show is more serious than that makes it sound - it focuses a lot on relationships and slowly gives more and more insight into each person. The spies are not the usual empty-shells and yet are not just the other usual of "lost lover due to some nasty killer, so internally screwed up". The spies themselves are dual-personalities with stereotypes on the one side and slowly emerging people under. The action is integrated well for the most part, and does not feel just tacked on.
So far, it has been very enjoyable to watch.
My daughter was rolling on the floor at The OC party scene takeoff parody (music, slow motion, but not quite the normal characters). There are a lot of such little parodies like that along with quite a few inside Hollywood jokes.
Worth watching in my view.
