Like the film, a mid-level CIA analyst, stumbles into the deepest reaches of dark operations, which results in all of his co-workers being killed. Not only is he on the run, but his boss, is convinced that someone in the CIA has to be responsible.
So, there are endless conspiracies and the villains are a bit on the nose. It isn't turn off your brain dumb, but it isn't gritty realism either. Although the show looks very slick, especially in the beginning, the script towards season finale falls into every amateur trap you can imagine. After all, this is an adaptation of an adaptation, so something definitely was lost in translation.
Promising start, average ending.
6/10 ... just because of William Hurt.
