Who'll love it
Made for crime-drama fans and action fans. If you loved Burn Notice, start here.
The mood
Dark and gritty.
The pace
2 seasons: a few weeks of evenings, episodes of about 45 minutes, about 15 hours in all.
What might put you off
  • Rated TV-14. Probably too much for younger kids.
  • It was cancelled, so the story may not get a proper ending.

A former DEA agent forced into early retirement runs a gift shop in in the Philippines. Despite his best efforts to begin a tranquil new life, he’s pulled back into a world of dangerous people and deadly situations, either through his friends in the local police department or running into people from his old life. And the problem is: he likes it.
