This is a heartwarming throwback movie to more innocent times in movie making where the audience becomes part of the experience through the eyes of a common working class hero with a good heart and values. See it.

I really tried to understand the plot. I admit I only saw two episodes. Apparently a 'superman' CIA agent (30 yrs ago and now 72yrs old!!!) takes on the US Govt in a confusing plot concerning the Taliban. It looks like he acted seditious (based on "conscience"???) but the further episodes and plot will tell all, The dogs are great. OK to watch if you have nothing better to do but don't try to make sense of the plot you will get a headache. I (and many viewers) don't like to see American agents killed so cavalierly (is (is this a tinseltown 'message'?). Could have been a good series .I like the Terminal List as being far superior a series.

If you take a good thriller novel and simply filmed it, then this would be the result. It has terse, great dialog that is direct and to the point ... like reading a good book. The scenes aren't over dialoged.

As for all the very negative 'reviews' it looks like all the arm chair old time would be Sandinistas wrote the negative reviews here based on politics.

If you like Elmore Leonard and those type writers put to screen to tell a story of action then this is a good way to spend a couple of hours. Recommended.
