The show flips between present day and the Cold War era. It has a lot of moving parts.
The concept of the TV show is interesting, the characters are interesting but there are too many storylines for the run-time of season 1.
I really wanted to like this but I found myself bored despite a considerable amount of action.
The Jason Bourne movie trilogy was only a few hours shorter than Treadstone season 1... and it focused on a single character.
This show had two characters in the Cold War era and then present day had 4-5 more characters. Now have shows worked with larges casts before? Yes. But they were ensemble casts or they weren't ensemble casts at the start of the show but quickly merged into an ensemble working towards a common goal or two competing goals. I did not see this in Treadstone Season 1.
I give it a 6, it's worth giving it a chance but it felt like they needed more episodes or less storylines that they could spend more time developing.
