Deception: Loading Up (2018)
Enough story for a feature film!
This series is pretty derivative. There are echoes of other shows, you know, the amateur working with professionals, a mission impossible type team that trick the bad guys weekly, a charming leading man falling for the lady cop/FBI agent/spy, etc.
But there's the writing that puts this series above the rest.
The show has it's own running back story, plus the case of the week, plus multiple side stories, which should make this a convuleted mess, but the writing soars above it's own limits.
This particular episode which weaves stories of deceptions and multiple betrayals scores just runs along nicely, and charms at every turn.
I'm really bummed there's no second season, but I'm going to check the people behind the scenes for their next projects. Look out for Greg Berlanti, John A. Norris as writers and producers, as well as Chris Federer.
