'Whiskey Cavalier' Season 1 review: A fun one-time watch but the plot ain't fiery enough

The dark humor in the show is definitely appreciated (good job Disney for putting on big-boy pants), while still managing to be charming.
UPDATED FEB 21, 2019

We're just four days away from the premiere of 'Whiskey Cavalier', and after having watched the advanced viewing of the show, we're left with mixed emotions.

'Whiskey Cavalier' gets its name from FBI super-agent, Will Chase aka Whiskey Cavalier (Scott Foley), and even his name seems like a play on words in the spy genre (Will Chase no matter what). The story revolves around this heartbroken detective, along with the shoot-before-you-speak, C.I.A. agent Francesca "Frankie" Trowbridge aka Fiery Tribune (Lauren Cohan). The duo is forced into a reluctant partnership as part of an interagency black-ops task force designed to track down the some of the most wanted criminals of the world.
