Watched this last night. Terrible concept, terrible execution. The creators need to go and watch Alias to learn how what a modern OTT spy drama should be like.
One thing that really annoyed me was how much they made of his safe cracking abilities. There isn't a safe he can't get into and the only thing we see him do his come down a rope and step over one laser. Ridiculous. Also, the female character seemed to change job positions in The Establishment (btw, what a terrible name for a secret organisation). One minute she was a femme fatale, cold as ice bitch who brought him back in, then she appeared to be a translator (specialising in Croatian) on her first day at work and then she was his partner in the field. Crazy.
I cannot stress enough how awful this was. Bad acting, script, direction, special effects (which can be done on a low budget - look at the fantastic Doctor Who on rival channel BBC1). I really hope that a full (or even partial) series does not follow.
Avoid. Avoid. Avoid.
