Transporter: The Series Premieres on HBO Canada on January 4, 2013



Transporter: The Series is an English-language Franco-Canadian action-adventure television series, based on the Transporter film series created by Luc Besson and Robert Mark Kamen. It is co-produced by the French Atlantique Productions and the Canadian boutique entertainment company QVF Inc. in association with broadcast partners M6 (France), RTL (Germany), The Movie Network, Movie Central (Canada) and HBO/Cinemax (USA).
The series follows the events and concept of the film trilogy, in other words the continuing adventures of Frank Martin, a professional freelance courier driver for hire who will deliver anything, anywhere – no questions asked – for the right price, and lives by three, unbreakable rules...which he constantly breaks. Chris Vance takes over the role of Frank from Jason Statham and is joined by Hungarian actress Andrea Osvárt, who plays the leading female role in the series, starring as a former CIA agent and love interest for Frank, who organizes his missions, and French actor François Berléand, the only returning actor from the film series, who reprises his role as Inspector Tarconi.
12 episodes were ordered for 2012 with an overall budget of $43 million, or €30 million. The show premiered that year on October 11 in Germany on RTL on December 6 in France on M6. The Canadian premiere is set for January 4, 2013 on HBO Canada (with the first episode available online from December 18, 2012).

Well i don't know how there will able have action sequence in every episode so i really hope that trailer isn't misleading i.e all those scenes are only from first episode meaning other episode won't have as much action ?. Let see what they make of this series.

Saving the girl in the car park was nice but having her ass in his face was amusing and what a gentleman covering her modesty while driving from the gunmen but at leased he paid her when he wrecked her gas car, the fight scenes saving Delia was also impressive

Action packed first episode and with Cinemax a little nudity

Yes it was good first episode but i bet she's sorry she spoke to him in the car park but your right it was amusing .
Author: codebreaker    Time: 12-29-2012 07:54     Subject: 1x02 Trojan Horsepower

Being in French was disappointing and also using what looked like some of the same chase scene's from the first episode was crazy, Dieter wanting to give Frank a huge after Trina hires him to deliver a new engine prototype invented by her father to the Paris Motor Show was amusing but the close call on the bridge was brilliant
Author: codebreaker    Time: 12-29-2012 10:50     Subject: 1x03 Harvest

English with French subtitles is better, Frank ignoring his own rules by opening the package was crazy but finding a stolen heart in the cooler created another dilemma when he figures out that his client was a powerful crime lord and what morons using machine guns when there was a heart in the boot, stealing the heart back a second time was amusing and who would of thought both patients wanting hearts would get them
Author: codebreaker    Time: 12-29-2012 14:11     Subject: 1x04 Dead Drop

Her saying the dude can drive was amusing as she was also impressive and the package being blind did make things interesting, the guys shooting into the shower when they were told he was wanted alive was bizarre but made sense later when we found out who the mole was and the fight in the kitchen was great
Author: codebreaker    Time: 12-29-2012 14:55     Subject: 1x05 Sharks

Frank helping the lady who was about to be mugged was amusing as she drove off without a word and out of the three drivers who would of thought the old Volvo would be rescuing Frank but tragic he died trying to deliver his package
Author: codebreaker    Time: 12-30-2012 03:55     Subject: 1x06 - 12 Hours

Information withheld was amusing as it works both ways but Carla should vet their client more as being injected could of been fatal and Dieter getting himself into hot water was priceless
Author: codebreaker    Time: 12-30-2012 04:28     Subject: 1x07 City of Love

Another dodgy client is getting repetitive with this time delivering a bomb and the police having a shoot to kill order on him but what a way to treat a Smart car
Author: codebreaker    Time: 12-30-2012 05:43     Subject: 1x08 Switch

It being a girl on the motorcycle was a surprise and Frank being suspected of swapping the painting was predictable but unrealistic as replacing a painting with a fake would take time an as he is only the transporter

I have no idea the order of the episode but that girl being on the cycle was rather good but dominatrix with the plyers was rather scary. I just had feeling all his jobs will have some sort complication . That art gallery with women pouring painting on herself was just odd . He certainly made good use of that paint

Yes he should of known when information withheld it's probably not going good package but i bet he wanted to take a risk . What a jerk even after his deal when through he could recovered the package and took it with him instead allow frank to get killed.

These episodes are all mark wrong so I am having to watch and compare to Wikipedia's description, the hacker being the target was a surprise but holding Carla as leverage did make things interesting and Juliette leading them to his home was diabolical but at leased she help him kill the one responsible

Episode 2 the French one has been duplicated from a different episode along with 9 being 7 so God knows what 7 is

Author: bala    Time: 1-2-2013 04:57     Subject: 1x09 Hot Ice

Well breaking his rule 3 opening the package was more trouble than he ever imagined but impressed female security guard handcuffed herself to Frank certainly made fighting bad guys more challenging. I loved how they broadcast it over hockey game

Well at least we know who she is now because we didn't know whether she good or bad guy but i was little bit surprised he went back to her after finding out her boss blew up his mansion. Now where is he going to live ?

Nice opening sequence with his car park driving skills but I would liked to of seen the face of the other driver as he balanced his car across the other cars bonnet and the fight scenes while handcuffed were impressive

I have got admit finishing most of the episodes in 2 days for a tv series is a bit strange as it was meant to last 13 weeks
Author: codebreaker    Time: 1-2-2013 13:49     Subject: 1x12 Payback

What a way to teach the guy a lesson for getting in the wrong car but getting back just in time for the package was amusing and no seatbelt was priceless, Jimmy framing Frank because of what happened in the past was interesting as he went to a lot of trouble to get payback but going back to help him was nice
Author: codebreaker    Time: 1-2-2013 13:54

So far the psig links are

1x01 The General's Daughter
1x02 Harvest
1x03 Switch
1x04 Dead Drop
1x05 Payback
1x06 Sharks
1x07 Trojan Horsepower
1x08 Hot Ice
1x09 City of Love
1x10 Cherchez La Femme
1x11 12 Hours

So looks like the only one missing is

Give the Guy a Hand
Author: codebreaker    Time: 1-2-2013 22:41     Subject: 1x02 Trojan Horsepower

As this is now available in English I thought I should watch again, So this is the episode were Frank meets Juliette for the first time and coming out the sea topless made sure he noticed her and the engine prototype effecting the air-conditioner was amusing

All 12 links are available now but I am on my 9th trying to find Give the Guy a Hand with no luck which is getting frustrated as the uploaded only need to see the first few min and the name is on the screen from which ever country they got it from
Author: codebreaker    Time: 1-7-2013 02:23

I'm now on the last link and with one double so far I'm sure this is going to be another dead end so if anyone else is watching this and sees one of these titles after the opening credits ( "Give the Guy a Hand" "Im Namen der Ehre" "La Main Invisible" ) could you please PM me the link don't post it here thanks in advance

It was Cherchez La Femme the one with hacker in were they blew his house up which would make sense as the season final but as episode 10 or 11 and his house being back in the next episode would be stupid

I liked the way Frank dealt with the tow truck driver trying to charge a $1000 for towing the girls car without looking under the hood and Dieter telling him how to fix it over the phone was amusing but that was some trap when the police throws him in jail for murder on trumped up charges but giving the count down finger was great

Nice opening rescue especially with the bridge collapse and the kid seeing his dad murdered was tragic but was lucky himself not to be seen, I'm glad they brought up what happened to his old house as last season was shown out of order and the way Caterina handled herself in the prison attack was impressive but what happened to Dieter was a surprise
