Taken is currently streaming in the US on Amazon Prime Video and Peacock Premium, and it delivers exactly the kind of comedy that earns a loyal following. Across 2 seasons, the show has had time to find its rhythm and keep it. 272 viewers have already rated it on TMDB — the kind of consensus that does not happen by accident. Clive Standen leads a cast with real comic timing. Available now on Amazon Prime Video — press play and find out why people keep recommending it.

Taken arrived without much fanfare and built its audience the hard way — through word of mouth. Taken does what great comedies rarely manage — it is actually funny, consistently, across the whole run. The origin story of younger, hungrier, former Green Beret Bryan Mills as he deals with a personal tragedy that shakes his world. As he fights to overcome the incident and exact revenge, Mills is pulled into a career as a deadly CIA operative, a job that awakens his very particular, and very dangerous, set of skills. Clive Standen and Jennifer Beals lead a cast with the timing to make it work. The series ran for 2 seasons (2017–2018), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly. The real test of any comedy is whether it is still funny once you know all the jokes, and Taken holds up on rewatch in a way that separates it from one-off curiosities. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

Comedy fans looking for a reliably funny watch will find it in Taken. If you have already watched The Old Man, Taken is a natural next step. A contained run means every episode is doing real work. Clive Standen sets the tone, but the supporting cast is where a lot of the best moments come from. A reliable pick for any night you want quality comedy without the homework.

Taken was cancelled in 2018, created by Alexander Cary — and 2 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
