The premise is a bit strange. Tom Keen (Ryan Eggold) is a former CIA agent. He is contacted by Howard Hargrave his estranged father, who faked his own death and lives in hiding. Howard had created Halcyon, a private world investigative service that can carry guns anywhere in the world and can kill just about anyone. His wife Scotty (Famke Janssen) now runs the firm. Howard doesn't trust her and wants his son to work for and spy on his mother...and not tell her that he is the son she is searching for night and day. This works as a minor subplot throughout the episodes as they perform made-for-TV action episodes that bordered on being lame. Then in the final episodes the minor subplot becomes the main plot and the series goes limp.
The main problem was that after watching the series, the character development was not that great. Let's make the fat guy (Adrian Martinez) the computer geek. It worked for Jurassic Park. Famke Janssen who I loved in so many roles, had trouble pulling off the caring mom and cold killer role. Solomon (Edi Gathegi) might as well been a killer android. I wish they had some more scenes of Tom at home so we could have gotten to know the main protagonist.
Might work for some people. I will take a pass on season 2.
