I like the first 5-10 minutes. Then it started to compound a lot of silly stuff.
We have a top notch agent who is sent on a buy sting. His partner, actually the team lead, no shows. He takes the initiative alone and almost gets killed. He saves the day EXACTLY like the Avengers did in the opening of Civil War.
When he gets back, it's literally blown off that his fellow agent no showed and almost got him killed. Utterly ridiculous! I don't care what excuse is used. My only thought is that this done to come back to later on, and sure enough it was.
Other things were seriously telegraphed.
Our secret agent Will is the most un-secret agent on the planet, and the butt of jokes for being too romantic and emotional. We're going to be oversold this!
Frankie broke about 75 international laws in 43 minutes of airtime. I'm guessing that trend will continue.
This makes the main mission of this pilot a little suspect, a NOC list being out there, if every body has more information about everybody else's spies! Even low grade mercenaries?
There's a really bad set up with a name being on a phone, and at the end the same name is on the bad guys ring. Is this amateur hour or what? To me it glares because I own a ring with writing on it and 5 people a day notice my ring! Will only notices his bosses ring at the end of this episode? Better, even mediocre dramas use a more subtle set up, of a small mistake the big bad made. Here's they trumpet it. There's tropes that fit, and tropes that don't writers.
If you solely like oil and water sexual tension, enjoy. If you want it to make sense, look elsewhere.
