Intelligence (2014)
6/10
Acceptable network TV action show
5 April 2014
Gabriel Vaughn (Josh Holloway) is a former soldier who gets implanted with a microchip in his brain designed by Dr. Cassidy (John Billingsley). He is now an operative for the US Cyber Command run by Lillian Strand (Marg Helgenberger). She assigns Secret Service agent Riley Neal (Meghan Ory) to guard and protect this new valuable asset.

I want to like this more, but it's reminds me too much of Chuck without the comedy. There is a need for more realism. But it's pretty standard network TV fare. With such a valuable and unique asset, it's unreasonable that they give just one partner to protect him and using the overused tiny female superfighter. It would be much more real to keep Gabriel in an armor command vehicle as he guides a team of special forces. The one big thing in the show is called rendering. Gabriel takes in all the information to project an virtual reality image. It's a passable network TV action show, and I do like Holloway. So I don't mind watching it but I'm not surprised that this midseason replacement got canceled after its half season run.
