Season 1
Former CIA agent Brian Mills witnesses the murder of his younger sister at the hands of a drug cartel kingpin, who arranged this murder because of Mills own killing of the kingpins brother. After the capture of this cartel kingpin, Mills is hired to be a member of an elite team of spies who work (basically) directly for the president. Each episode sends the team on a mission of national importance, while also weaving the season long storyline of Mills obsession with his sister's killer. In many ways, this is typical spy/military TV thriller. However, while the story is clearly U.S. centric, and is explicit projection of covert power, the feel of the show is strongly European. That is, a few line/context changes over the course of the season and this is Crossing Lines or any number of Scandanavian/Euro police/military procedurals. I can't quite figure out why this is so... but it is...
4 stars (out of 5)
