Sounds like an interesting premise! A former MI6 agent using psychology instead of violence. We need more smart shows like this. The Indian audience appreciates clever writing. Fingers crossed it's not just another generic thriller.

Good to see Fox investing in scripted dramas again. But 12 episodes is a big commitment. Hope the story has enough depth to sustain it and doesn't get repetitive. Stephen Fry can definitely carry it if the writing is solid. 🤞

As someone who loved him in 'Bones', I'm excited! Dr. Wyatt was a great character. A whole series built around his unique talents is a fantastic idea. The 2026-27 season feels so far away though!

The concept of "lockpicking minds" is fascinating. Reminds me of the mental games in some classic detective fiction. I just hope they don't make it too Western-centric in its view of "the world's most dangerous criminals." The world is a big place.

Lionsgate and Fox usually produce decent quality. With Fry involved in writing too, it has potential. Hope it focuses on the psychological duel and doesn't get sidetracked by unnecessary subplots. A tight, smart series is what we need.
