This is a series based on "The Bourne Identity" movies. I never saw any of them, so I have no idea how related this show is to that movie. There is a lot of action, even for an action TV series. It goes on and on. There are muliple characters and stories as well.

CIA sleeper agent assassins are awakened from a program called Operation Treadstone. They have been living normal (but fake) identities created for them, and now they're assasins. The questions asked in the first episode include, who awakened them? Who are they killing and why? That's just to start.

The show stars two handsome men, Jeremy Irvine as J. Randolph Bentley and Brian J. Smith as Doug McKenna. You'll probably recognize both men from their many roles on TV and movies. There are some new faces (Emilia Schüle, Hyo Joo Han, Tracy Ifeachor and more), and two veteran TV actors as well, Michelle Forbes and Michael Gaston. It's a pretty big cast.

The show was created by Tim Kring, who also gave us "Heroes" and other series. I hope this one is more successful for him than "Dig" and "Touch."

The first episode was very intriguing and draws you into this world. It's worth following up on if you like action shows.
