Trying to get a kidnapped girl back before she gets killed.
Cable Drama: Still Waiting for the Cable Guy to Show Up with the Thread Name...
To be determined... (but it's definitely [NAFDA])
That is the most recent episode.
Doesn't Bruce Campbell rock as Sam? He's the best thing in the show.
I love Bruce Campbell! This is a great role for him.
What's the background on this show? Who are these guys? I could go to the website, but it'll probably suck.
They pretty much give you the backstory in the opening credits. Michael Weston was a spy working for the USA but for some reason he got let go or burned. He made his way back the US winding up in his home town: Miami.
Sam is an old CIA buddy of his - now retired but whose pension is at risk. Fiona is his ex-girlfriend who used to be a member of the provisional IRA.
His mom is an agoraphobic played by Sharon Gless. He has an untrustworthy brother played by the guy who played the untrustworthy brother on Providence.
Does that help?
It does indeed; thank you, sumi.
He made his way back the US winding up in his home town: Miami.
tiny detail. He was taken to Miami by the people who burned him and told that he had to stay there. Just thought I'd add that, so that at some point you don't say "why the hell doesn't he just leave this shit?"
I couldn't remember -- I mean he got on that plane on his own, didn't he? Or was he later kidnapped and dropped off.
He got on the plane on his own, but he'd been beaten up, so he passed out on the plane. He woke up in Miami with Fiona, not remembering anything.
Okay, wait. So he was a spy who got outed? Why didn't they just kill him? Either the enemy or his handlers? Seems he's a liability now; why would they just drop him off in Miami?
I'm sorry. I'll just watch the series.
He can't leave Miami or they WILL kill him.
