Unnessecery Extension.
This Drama series is getting boring, and unrealistic. Im a half Singaporean half Filipino guy, and of course i need something to watch from the Philippines but this drama series is taking too long. There have been many opportunities to end the series but it just goes on and on. First Pulang araw then Vendetta then Task Force Agila, whats next? At first the series was fun and entertaining to watch but after a year it starts to get boring, the story becomes unrealistic, it makes the police and military look stupid as well. Too much climax is not good. Just end it.

The worst series ever
The writers and the actors are now being drained of their brain powers, that the story's forgetting the original creator/story.
Edit: Now it's much more worse than the first season, they sould fix their story because it's bad. Like a president that doesn't see or notice that someone is adding poison to his freaking medicine??? And why does he not notice why alot of his friends are mad to her.
If it's possible to rate 0 stars, that would be great.

Unrealistic
The show's been going on for years! It's like your typical tv show that gets worse every season. A film/show needs to have a broad plot. Maybe the producers are running out of ideas that's why it gets bland and unrealistic the longer it runs.

Motorcycle shooting scenes
The throttle is on the right side. This dude shoots with his right hand. You cannot keep speed with a car chase when your throttle hand is shooting a hand gun. I don't care if the story is far fetched, but please get the motorcycle action scenes correct.

Dumbest TV show ever
Where can you find a poseur president character who is a twerp and makes a runaround in the presidential palace while the real president has been a chump and useless all his administration and is comatose? Then, the twerp has created a harem in the palace whereas the bad guys run the government for a long time you never know when it is going to end. Where can you find the characters who run through a hail of bullets from the bad guys who are too many and occupy the higher and advantageous position, not too mention better firepower, and yet annihilated by the former with the hero leading the charge, unscathed and looking good?
Where can you find a TV show where the zoom in of the camera at the face of characters in a number of scenes, before commercial breaks and episode end, if the number of minutes is collected and counted, would take half a season of its five-year existence? And mind you, the length of time for commercials is usually longer or almost as long than the episode.
Then the acting, especially of Mr Coco Martin, is campy, amateurish, and average.
Yeah, the original actor who played Ang Probinsiyano should be rolling in his grave right now. It's no wonder the station which shows the story should never be given a franchise for allowing this travesty to the art of TV drama making. This show will go on because many Filipinos are too lazy to be critical at how their minds are fed by.

A long-waited TV series has rise from the ashes of a fractured channel ABS-CBN under it's original Cease-And-Desist orde
What part of a true action series didn't you really understand?
All i could see is with Bland scripts, mediocre fight choreography, corny jokes and overly-emotional death scenes from previous to this current season. Until now i can prove that this show is still irrelevant for today.
P. S: Villains are slowly gaining victorious over despondent but forgotten squad of heroes.

Mga abnormal na producer nanyo itigil niyo na
Basura to, coco desperate for keeping the job, dami niyong kabobohan. Frauds.
Cliche on top of Cliches. Absolutely no creativity
Somehow, they still find a way to extend the story and most of the time it defies logic. Sometimes it's not even related to the previous plot. When it first came it centered around his goal to bring down a drug lord, in which he succeeded. But somehow, he became a vigilante, protecting the president and all that.
These kinds of entertainment, further destroys the quality of the Philippine showbiz industry. The industry is too monetized, it does not focus on quality anymore. And probably the main reason I gave this the lowest score possible, is because of that. Ang Probinsyano, is the manifestation of what the showbiz industry has become.
I hope that the series end soon, it still survived even after the ABS-CBN shutdown. We need to start profucing way better material than this.

Use to be a good show....
Whatever happened to good guys winning at the end of day? This show has jumped off into the absurd with the continual winning of the bad guys and the good guys not so much. The shows main character, Cardo, is hardly ever seen and his task force has been relegated to hiding in a three room flat in hiding. The show is about corrupt politicians, drug lords and assorted very bad street thugs. What a waist of time watching it. Don't get me wrong, the early days of Cardo shooting up the bad guys was great, that just doesn't happen anymore. And there has been way to many of fan favorite good guys and gals get killed off. Time to end the show, or fire all the writers for ruining a good show.

Boring and unrealistic!
First part wasn't so bad, 95% are flashbacks. Unrealistic fight scenes. Never rans out of bullets. Black Ops never achieved anything, they should be unfunded or decommissioned. Boring dialogs. Not even a half star!

FPJ's Ang Probinsyano aka FPJ The Man from the Province was fantastic
Tv show for the brain dead
Mainstream media is saturated with hype and overrated trash like the jason bourne and john wick franchises. In the Philippines, the most overrated show would be this soap opera, dubbed as the longest running local tv show in the country's broadcasting history. The show is an insult to common sense and human intelligence.
"FPJ's" Ang Probinsyano represents everything I hate about cutesy fartsy mass media; its emphasis on the shallow and hip as well as its pandering to the jologs, kurimaw and teenybopper herds. This is the type of garbage the disneyfied, k-pop idiots enjoy watching because it doesn't require a lot of brain processing. Its lead star, Coco Martin is being sold to the viewing public as a new type of action star, a hero for the new millennium. It's very fitting because in this day and age, people have become infantile and have lost the ability to think critically. They just mindlessly ingest whatever the local networks, print media and social media cram down their throats. They believe whatever the "experts" tell them. Folks, use your own thinking faculties. Don't let mainstream media or any media entity to do the thinking for you.
Going back to Martin, the "action" guy for the new generation; this dude got the role by sucking his manager's ding dong. The makers of Martin's show have a fundamental misunderstanding of what an "action star" is supposed to be. An action star should possess grit and not look like a homo from the backstreet boys or one direction. Look at the classic Filipino action stars: Fernando Poe Jr., Rudy Fernandez, Ace Vergel, Lito Lapid, Ramon Revilla, Dante Varona, Anthony Alonzo, Ronnie Ricketts, Robin Padilla; these mofos are legit badasses and tough guys in real life. Martin on the other hand is merely a pretender, a product of hype and unsubstantiated publicity. His fight scenes and action sequences are aided by camera trickery, wires and frequent use of stunt doubles. He should be in a romcom or drama like the other pa cute actors; seriously, look at the guy, is he convincing as a cop, hardened by years of police work in the streets? Even Diego from Bubble Gang look a lot tougher than "Cardo".
Though it's evident that the show is pure bullsh-t, I remember I gave it the benefit of the doubt back in 2015. Besides, it does have Da King's initials attached to the title and maybe by giving it a chance, one of its directors, Toto Natividad will be provided the opportunity to make another action film with an early 90s sensibility. Admittedly, the show had promise in the first several episodes, specifically the story arc about Ador, Cardo's identical twin brother, is surprisingly good. The story with Ador Dalisay had tension, ambiance, atmosphere, drama and suspense. I actually like the interior scene in the police station where Ador seems to be having a hard time trying to reconcile his idealism with his colleagues' cynism. Martin's Ador is a likeable guy, and to be fair to the actor and give credit where it is due; he was able to breathe into the character a vulnerability which even FPJ would have applauded, considering that when Da King played the same role, he came up with a more or less workmanlike performance. Now all this built up tension in the first part of the show went down the toilet once the character of Cardo Dalisay is introduced into the narrative. All storytelling logic, realism or standards of plot and characterization are suddenly abandoned in favor of flashy and empty Chow Yuen Fat style gunplay and other gimmickry which would make John Woo vomit his lunch. I stopped watching the show after this devolution.
Where the show is good at is in reminding viewers of the times when action movies had at least, a clear footing in the entertainment market. As such, it uses nostalgia as a selling point by featuring as guests, long forgotten 90s headliners like Jeric Raval and even fight choreographer Val Iglesias. Nevermind that the same greedy corporate structure that put an end to making action films is the same entity that birthed this garbage. This is the corporate institution which forced people to watch the horrible movies of vice kabayo and the horrific infidelity oriented flicks peopled by gay leading men.
To conclude, Ang Probinsyano, the show, is an outrage. The show is an assault to human decency and the rappers in the show should be arrested for illegal possession of ugly face.

they now only focus on a few things like terrorism, information falsification and corruption.
If you ask me, I still prefer their series from 2015-2017/18 because every week, they show Cardo's fighting criminals in such as kidnapping, smuggling, carnapping, robbery, Riding in Tandem, rambunctious police and Illegal Drugs , and so on ... because that's when I see the realistic of the situation more, unlike from 2019-until now, they just focused on one subject ... that is politics.
