Overview

  • All eight episodes launched in the U.S. on Dec. 27 as a full-season drop on Peacock.
  • Early reviews broadly commend Simu Liu’s lead turn and the show’s polish, while criticizing convoluted plotting and an excess of twists.
  • The premise follows intelligence analyst Alexander Hale, whose hacked senses allow adversaries to watch and listen through him.
  • Created by Thomas Brandon with Jennifer Yale as co‑showrunner, the thriller is positioned as “spy‑fi” and planned as an ongoing series, produced with UCP and James Wan’s Atomic Monster.
  • International rollout is staggered: India on Dec. 28 via JioHotstar, Canada on Jan. 6 on Showcase, Australia on Feb. 16 on Binge, with U.K. availability expected in early 2026.
