I've never had Starz but this showed up on Amazon recently. It's a modern spy thriller with a pretty big sci-fi twist although not aliens or light sabers or zombies. One of my favorite shows going.

It was canceled on Starz after 2 seasons and they shopped it but apparently no one picked it up. Anyone in the business have an idea if Amazon will continue a series of it gets enough traction on their platform? I'd love to see this story play out.

If you haven't seen it and like cold war type spy shows it is a must watch. It stars J.K. Simmons from Law and Order fame.

The fact that this is how you describe jk simmons tells me all I need to know about your taste.

It actually is a superb show! I'm also disappointed it was only 2 seasons, but it was enough to complete the story line, so any more and it likely would have gone downhill.

Yeah JK Simmons was great on those insurance commercials too

He (like everyone else on the show) is anchored in my mind to his role on Oz.

Watching the state farm and Allstate commercials are very confusing for me

I really enjoyed that show. The two different worlds was cool and Simmons was great in both roles. His acting in that show is outstanding.

I watched both seasons on stars and liked it, but thought Jk was the wrong guy for that role. Was the one thing that held me back from being really sad about no third season.

Jk playing jk and also a middle version of jk to where I was fooled wondering which jk jk was acting as was truly amazing. I feel this show was written with jk in mind. I've really enjoyed it so far if you can't tell yet.

I really liked that show; it had a such fascinating and original premise. Had it been on HBO and not STARZ I think it might have gone a couple more seasons. It was definitely one of STARZ' best shows, up there with Black Sails.
