I watched the season two premiere last night in the hopes that the show would remain good. I can say that, one episode in, the formula is still working.
For those who have never seen it, get the DVD’s or watch online. It stars Jeffrey Donovan as Michael Westin, a spy who was cut loose in Miami and, having no work history or money, works helping people get out of jams using his spy knowledge. Think A-Team but not so cheesy. Gabrielle Anwar plays his barely intelligible ex-girlfriend and Bruce Campbell plays the FBI agent assigned to watch him (Bruce usually helps him in his “missions” since if he’s helping he’s watching). Michael, meanwhile, is trying to figure out who got him cut out of the spy business.
Last night’s episode started with Michael in a truck trying to meet up with the person with the knowledge of what happened to him. Instead he ends up with another mission to help someone but this time the mission came from the government. He has to steal some data from a “security” company so that the government will let go of his “client”’s wife and kid.
All in all, a good start to what I hope will be a good second season.
