Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Made for action fans. If you loved Burn Notice, start here.
The mood: Exciting.
The pace: 1 season: a few weeks of evenings, episodes of about 42 minutes, about 8 hours in all.
What might put you off: It was cancelled, so the story may not get a proper ending.

Five years after leaving the CIA to open a catering company, Steven and Samantha Bloom are recruited back into the agency by Carlton Shaw. They take on special missions the average agent cannot handle. Having made a pact to never discuss their pasts with each other, the Blooms find surprising new things about their spouse in the course of each mission.
