Overview
- Peacock released all eight episodes in the U.S. at 6 a.m. ET on Dec. 27, with India streaming on Dec. 28 via JioHotstar and later rollouts slated for Canada, Australia and the U.K.
- The series centers on analyst Alexander Hale (Simu Liu), whose hacked senses let unknown adversaries see and hear everything he does, driving themes of surveillance and trust.
- Early critiques single out Liu’s performance and his chemistry with Melissa Barrera, while faulting a twist-heavy narrative for uneven coherence and familiar spy tropes.
- Creators Thomas Brandon and Jennifer Yale describe a “spy‑fi” approach that uses predictive‑engine ideas alongside analog touches like paper files and Morse code to refresh genre conventions.
- Showrunners say scenes were expanded after casting—particularly for Barrera and Sinclair Daniel—and they indicate plans for continuation, with Atomic Monster among the producers.
