CIA operative Joe tries to balance his personal and professional lives as the spearhead of the agency’s war on terror. Real-life military advisors helped produce more authentic gun handling, house clearance, location and group-based action, etc. Referenced in Premios Soberano (2024). I waited 4 episodes to really immerse myself in this one for a really long time. The goal was to give myself the opportunity to appreciate the gift we’ve been given by the numerous A-List actors who contributed to the creation of this work, which is otherwise enjoyable and appreciated by many despite mixed reviews. Many viewers have been told stories from a similar perspective, but this view remains exciting when you deal with a more confusing but well-tied plot through the female leads, each of whom captures our attention every time they appear. Halfway through, we can’t say if that sense of urgency, as we increasingly discover what’s going on, will remain at the same level as it is now, but considering the subject matter covered, the budget, and the talent they were able to bring this to the screen, the landing is hard to miss, mostly because of the series’ solid foundation.
