Jean-Claude Van Johnson is a thrilling action-comedy series created by Dave Callaham for Amazon Studios in 2016. The show follows Hollywood superstar and martial arts master, Jean-Claude Van Damme, as he plays a fictionalized version of himself who turns out to be a retired black-ops agent. As the show progresses, he finds himself drawn back into the game, as he becomes involved in a danger-laden mission that takes him to his home country of Belgium.

Jean-Claude Van Johnson is a fun and quirky series that brings together classic action-movie tropes with comedy and self-deprecation. It is easy to see that the show doesn't take itself too seriously, while still managing to deliver an engaging and entertaining storyline. The show is full of meta-references to Van Damme's prior work, as well as nods to the current state of Hollywood and the action-movie genre.

The series opens with Jean-Claude Van Damme leading a seemingly mundane life as a washed-up actor, living in a luxurious mansion in Hollywood. Still pining for his former love interest, Vanessa (Kat Foster), Jean-Claude jumps at the chance to feature in a new movie from his old agent turned film producer, Ridley (Malcolm McDowell). But things are not what they seem, as Jean-Claude's role in the film becomes more involved and his black-ops past comes back to haunt him.

Jean-Claude Van Johnson is a fast-paced and action-packed show that combines classic Hollywood showdowns, martial arts moves and innovative fight choreography. Alongside these scenes, the show provides plenty of humour, with Jean-Claude's self-referential commentary on his career and his portrayal of the fictionalized version of himself.

In addition to Van Damme's spot-on performance, the show features a talented and diverse cast of supporting actors, including Kat Foster, who plays Vanessa, Van Damme's former love interest and his CIA handler in the black-ops world. Foster brings a sharp wit and emotional intensity to her role, serving as a perfect foil for Van Damme's character.

Overall, Jean-Claude Van Johnson is a fantastic and unique show that is sure to thrill action movie fans and casual viewers alike. The show's humour and meta-commentary make it stand out in a crowded market of action movies and TV shows. While it is sometimes over the top, the show's creators have created a compelling and entertaining story that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats throughout the season.

Finally, as an Amazon Studios production, Jean-Claude Van Johnson features high-quality production values and is available in Ultra-HD for an immersive viewing experience. With its unique mix of action, comedy, and self-referential humour, this show is certainly worth a watch for fans of martial arts, Jean-Claude Van Damme or anyone looking for a fresh take on the action-movie genre.
