An off duty CIA agent [Basso] discovers a bomb on a train, that was planted by a mysterious man, and he attempts to try and save the occupants, finds himself the top suspect for planting the bomb on the train, even though it as quite clear that someone else planted the bomb[?] - try to wrap your mind on that one. He is kind of demoted stand watch in an isolated room to watch over a phone that is supposed to never ring, when suddenly it does. He is then asked to watch over a young woman [Buchanan] who has ties to the inner government because of her aunt and uncle who were also "watchers of the phone" and murdered by a top spy, or maybe a duo of hitmen[?] Afterwards, he and the young woman are thrust into a diabolical web of intrigue and inner government moles trying to usurp the inner factions of the CIA...kind of.
THE GOOD - ...I seriously can't remember anything about this pile of shit that really was good. I know that I need to be nice and say something, but I honestly can't.
THE BAD - The story, the dialog, the acting, the lack of realistic responses to danger. I never got the feeling that anyone was in serious peril and that there were no serious consequences for any agent actually doing their job. Everything in the series story and plot are transparent and there's nothing new that I haven't ever seen before in another movie. Basso seems to have the same facial expression in every shot, whether he's just walking down the street, being shot at, or being caught in an explosion. The pacing is really bad and, if there are any veterans in this series, everyone acts live compete amateurs in some type of indie web series, even Robert Patrick looks stiff as a CIA Director who plays an aggressive jerk, often testing the loyalties of Besso's character in the series.
POST MORTEM - I totally understand that Besso has some kind of following and that some people have penned him as the next big actor to break out of Netflix and head to the big screen, but his acting in this series is just horrible. I would have had a better time rearranging my sock drawer than watching this bumbling series that had no mystery or anything coherently as noteworthy for ward nominations or requiring a second season.
