So I saw adverts for this show when it was on the air but never really paid attention to it. It's now over (story complete, not cancelled), but I caught a couple re-runs on TV and was intrigued. I started watching it on Netflix and I'm hooked.
This show is what happens when you cross Alpha Protocol with MacGuyver, add Bruce Campbell as a hard-drinking, womanizing, retired Navy SEAL, and a trigger/explosion-happy woman who used to run with the IRA along with the protagonist who might as well be Mike Thorton while keeping things pretty firmly grounded. It has action, comedy, and some pure brilliance in improvising gadgets out of common items (and it's pretty legit in concept what they come up with). Plus you have Lucy Lawless and Tricia Helfer in minor roles as well. Definitely worthy of your attention if you can view it.

I watched most of it. I think I tuned out before the 2nd to last season.
It was ok. Very very formulaic, and Michael's "If you're a spy" voiceovers get really old after a while. At one point, I was watching to call BS on all the stuff they get away with.

So far I'm only into the third season, but I haven't seen anything truly outlandish (aside from shadow organizations and such).
