TV Series Review: THE ASSETS; SEASON 1 (2014) B-


Nine episodes about the CIA chasing a mole that infiltrated  it's operation during the 1980's.  Presentation could have been much better.  Acting was poor and tension did not build for this spy series.

The mole turned out to be Aldrich Ames, who "outed" Russians agents who were working for us.  He used the money he obtained from the Russians to feed his greedy wife with the luxuries she "needed".

During the last episode the real Ames, and the CIA people involved in chasing him were interviewed.  They were MUCH MORE interesting personalities than those depicted in the series.
