Overview
- All eight episodes dropped on Peacock on December 27, with rollout set for India on December 28 (JioHotstar), Canada on January 6 (Showcase) and Australia on February 16 (Binge).
- The series follows Alexander Hale, an intelligence analyst whose brain is hacked via microscopic nanites, turning him into living surveillance inside a secretive U.S. agency called The Orphanage.
- Creator Thomas Brandon and co‑showrunner Jennifer Yale describe the show as a “spy‑fi” blend that favors predictive analysis and tactile techniques like books and Morse code over screen‑heavy tech.
- Critics consistently praise Liu’s charisma and the show’s mood and action beats, while many fault the storytelling for repetitive reversals and convoluted coherence.
- Produced by UCP with James Wan’s Atomic Monster among executive producers, the show was designed to be returnable, leaving the door open for a potential second season.
