Big Countdown Moment Will Lead Amber and Mark to a ‘Complicated Place,' Says Jessica Camacho (VIDEO)

The following contains spoilers from the July 23 episode of , now streaming on Prime Video. The truth — and the whole truth — is now out, on Prime Video's Countdown. But where does that leave terminal Mark and a shellshocked Amber? More from TVLine Dexter: Resurrection's Kadia Saraf, Dominic Fumusa Talk Detectives' 'Moonlighting Energy' and Suspicions of Harrison Casting News: Jack Lowden Leads Berlin Noir Series, Matthew Rhys Is Invincible and More The Summer I Turned Pretty Premiere: Jer Commits an Act of Betrayal - Or Did He? You Be the Judge! We learned back in Episode 1 that veteran LAPD detective Mark Meachum (played by Jensen Ackles) had been diagnosed nine months prior with glioblastoma multiforme, a highly aggressive and malignant type of brain tumor. Last week, DEA agent Amber Oliveras (Jessica Camacho) called out Meachum on his 'junkie'-like behavior, what with all the squinting, forehead-clutching, and taking 20 minutes to descend a stairwell. That teed up a heart-to-heart between the Hurricane Task Force partners, during which Mark confided some of his situation, framing it as 'migraines.' Amber in turn hooked Mark up with prescription pain killers. MARK'S CONFESSION STUNS AMBER In this week's Episode 7, Amber visited Mark at home and, over beers, proffered a vial of new meds that 'disrupt serotonin receptors.' Mark, though, cut her off to plainly state, 'I have a tumor.' 'What…?' a stunned Amber responded. 'Is it treatable? 'Nope.' 'How long…?' she asked of his prognosis. 'Uh, six weeks, six months… doc's not sure,' he shrugged. 'But I'll tell you this,' Mark added upon clocking his partner's concern. 'I'm not going out staring at the sunset on the beach. If I'm going out, I'm going out saving something — this city, these people. If I get that chance, that's what I'll do.' WILL THE (TRAGIC) TRUTH BRING AMBER AND MARK CLOSER? In the meantime, how will Mark's sharing of his terminal fate change things between him and Amber? The two started out at (playful) loggerheads when the task force was first formed, but they have grown closer in recent weeks. In the TVLine video above, Camacho offers, 'The fact that Meachum decides to confide in [Oliveras] means a lot to her.' The sharing of such personal information 'really takes her by surprise, it takes her aback,' the actress notes, 'and I don't think that's something that she takes lightly. Him letting her into his world in that way deepens her desire to show up for him as his partner, as a human… as someone who begins to really, deeply care for this person.' That in turn 'takes their journey' as partners, and maybe more, 'to an interesting and complicated place,' Camacho teases. Or as castmate Violett Beane, sitting beside Camacho in the video, puts it: 'You'll have to watch to find out!' Want scoop on , or for any other TV show?

'Countdown' Review: A Thrilling, High-Stakes Crime Drama With Massive Highs… & Lows

We all love a good crime thriller series – one that's sure to get the blood pumping and make us binge the next episode. If this is what whets your appetite, then 'Countdown' might be for you. Set in the modern day, this crime drama follows a team of officers who are brought together to investigate the sudden and brutal execution of a Department of Homeland Security agent in broad daylight. Little do they know, they have instead uncovered a sinister plot that's meant to bring the United States to heel. Created and written by Derek Haas, this gripping series sees our heroes, Jensen Ackles, Jessica Camacho, Violett Beane, Elliot Knight, Uli Latukefu, and Eric Dane, in a race against time in preventing a catastrophic event. This team is made up of effective specialists from various fields who use their extensive knowledge to apprehend their perp. And they are up against a person who will pull out all the stops to set his plan into motion. It's a case of the proverbial 'unstoppable force meeting an immovable object.' The series primarily centres on Los Angeles, as the antagonist's reach is as far as it is deeply rooted in plain sight. For 13 episodes, we are left on the edge of our seats as we are bombarded with a series of near misses and close calls that only serve to raise the stakes as our heroes slowly close in on their target. From covert operations to full-on assaults, this show has all the makings of an excellent crime fiction series. We reel at every setback and rejoice at every success, something that's only possible thanks to the excellent performance and synergy of the cast, lead by Jensen Ackles and Jessica Camacho. Unfortunately, it's right here that we see one of the biggest weaknesses of the series — it only focuses on these two characters. Though there are largely six main characters, the series only zooms in on these two and their growing dynamic. It's a nice touch, as it showcases the deepening bond between two teammates, but it does come at the expense of the rest of the cast. It's quite unfortunate, because although we love these actors, it's actually a breath of fresh air when we see anyone else from the team working together to solve the crime. The series does try various combinations of the team to work, but it happens so late in the game that it feels too awkward, like the series itself is shipping these characters together for us. When you begin to go in-depth and dissect the series for what it is, you'll notice that Ackles' Mark Meachum is the only one to have some sort of character development in the entire show, as if the story is solely about him, while the rest are either to help him reach this development or are just there to move the plot forward when it's convenient. It's also extremely unfortunate that the series makes no effort in hiding that fact. Though they have been reduced to nothing more than just get-out-of-jail-free cards, Beane, Knight, Latukefu, and Dane deliver amazing performances and are an enjoyable bunch whenever they are on screen. Each of them has their own stakes and reasons for being there, and seeing them all come together is actually quite enjoyable. Despite the fact that they aren't the lead cast, each of these characters is put into dire straits that are meant to test their character, resolve, and principles. Whether it comes to physically demanding challenges and tasks or a dilemma that asks them to compromise their principles, the situations are always thought-provoking and nerve-racking. If there were to be a season two, our only request is that we see more development and focus on the rest of the cast and not just the leads. Overall, 'Countdown' is an enticing crime thriller that has the makings of a future cult classic. Packed with a star-studded cast, the show deliveres a lot of powerful and exciting moments that leaves us wanting more. Unfortunately, the series also hyper-focuses on one character, while leaving the rest as convenient tools to advance the plot. Despite that, if you're simply looking for an easy-to-binge series to keep you occupied or to satisfy your crime drama needs, then this show is for you. 'Countdown' can now be streamed on Prime Video. What's your Reaction? +1 0 +1 0 +1 0 +1 0 +1 0 +1 0 Follow us on Instagram, Facebook or Telegram for more updates and breaking news.
