#whatonwhatsgood Express Review

Luke Brunner, (Arnold Schwarzenegger) a CIA agent, is about to retire but is pulled into another case.  To his family, they think he is a fitness equipment salesperson.

As he returns to the field, Luke is surprised to learn that his daughter Emma is also an agent. 

Can the father and daughter with their team work together to take down the bad guys?

Overall, it's a pretty entertaining show with a fantastic ensemble cast that includes Milan Carter (Barry), Jay Baruchel (Carter), Aparna Brielle (Tina), Andy Buckley (Donnie), Fortune Feimster (Ruth/Roo), Barbara Eve Harris (Dot), Gabriel Luna (Boro Polonia), Fabiana Udenio (Tally Brunner), Travis Van Winkle (Aldon), David Chinchilla (Cain Khan), and Scott Thompson (Dr Louis Pfeffer).

Based on the finale, it looks as though they are hoping to get a second season.
