This is a straight male bff-in-denial testosterone-filled camaraderie fest. As in they totally are best friends but are too straight to admit any such thing. Well. Unless being chased by rockets, death cyborgs and getting shot at by armies of special agents and/or militias.Maybe. Sort of. At least one of them is. I'm a total sucker for this type of thing.

Something of a sleeper series, this mini-series is a the best action-spy-thriller Hollywood hasn't made. Quips are exchanged, plots are twisted and many things either go boom or get shot or stabbed.
