Never even heard of this

I just stumbled on it after watching some old ABC news stuff on Ames. I assumed this must have been in the 90s. It was just on and then canceled? Wow. I would have watched this if I'd known about it.

I think I would have checked it out too but I never heard about it either. I was just scrolling through a canceled tv shows website and stumbled across this show.

I saw both episodes & liked it. It wasn't "Scandal" but I didn't expect it to be. I think they pulled it too soon. I sure don't want to watch Shark Tank repeats!!!!!

Watched the two episodes. Pretty bad. Also one-sided and with a lack of character development. The family life of the blonde was truly boring. In the era of hot war, hearing people talk about the Cold War with such heroic passion really made me want to throw up. Mostly commercial and religious interests were at work in the intell community. Look at the religious affiliations of the bitches of Alec Station prior to even 9/11. Do yourself a favor and just read Confessions of a Spy.

I thought the show was excellent and was shocked to find it was cancelled. I kept waiting for it to come back on. I finally googled the show and found out. It was on a par with the Americans and was more believable. I think the ratings would have picked up. I hope Netflix offers the series on streaming.
