....Thanks for 3 episodes !!! I am old enough to remember a TV drama called " Espionage " and later the "Professionals" U.K.. Now when I saw the TV trailers for the Assets ; I was so trilled to see a TV show that was cerebral driven... and not a whimsy satirical comedy dramas like "leverage" which if they staged seriously could have had all the makings of a good gritty drama. Even the old TV series of Mission Impossible had you glued to the TV set. Also in that time was " The Man from Uncle ". I still enjoy the re-runs after all this time. We have to ask why was "24" was so popular all around the world. And after 5 series all the major U.S. TV networks secretly tried to get it off the air. Even getting the director "fired". Because of its vast popularity and it was taking away viewer ship from boring programs. Over the the years I found TV both here and U.K. have channeled T.V. programs to the point of actually turning away thinking viewers. Just to list a few personal movies, "Telephon ; Numbers Station, Tinker ,Tailor, Soldier, Spy; The International; Erasure, The Fourth Protocol ; The Good German; Torn Curtain; Brass Target, which I can't find any where again; Carlos foreign series, and many more.
