I just finished watching The Train Job episode and overall I thought it was an okay show.  I thought that it was somewhat interesting but it wasn’t that great. I would describe it as a futuristic western, which was kind of cool but not that great. It reminded me of star trek and I am not really a fan of it. From what I got from the episode they are living on a ship and do little jobs for people. I also learned that the doctor’s sister is somewhat crazy and at the end the police or whatever they are called are looking for her. One of the parts I did not like about the show was that all the action and story took place in a very short amount of time and the majority of the show was just filled up with basically nothing. The robbing of the train and the taking back of the medicine was only like five minutes of the show. I just thought that it was poorly put together and that the robbing of the train and the plans for that should have been the majority of the show. That was one of the best parts of the show and it was also the shortest part of the show. I thought that there should been more planning and the robbery scene should have been much longer. Other than that I thought the story line was kind of interesting. I thought the stolen cargo being medicine was a good twist to the story but it could have been much better if it was filmed better.  During the show I also learned that there was some kind of group that was referred to as the Alliance but being the first episode I didn’t really get the whole alliance group. Overall it was okay and I might watch a couple of their other shows for the rest of the shows we have to watch.
