'Whiskey Cavalier' Season 1 review: Tyler James Williams as rogue NSA analyst Edgar Standish is the best part of the ABC show

'Whiskey Cavalier' is a fun dramedy set in the world of espionage, and Williams' character just about kills it
UPDATED FEB 23, 2019

ABC's much awaited 'Whiskey Cavalier' is just days away, and after having a good long preview of the show, we realized that one particular man stands out from the crowd: Edgar Standish (Tyler James Williams), a rogue NSA analyst who discovers an awful truth about the FBI, and who has Whiskey Cavalier (Scott Foley) and Fiery Tribune (Lauren Cohan) hot on his tail.

The show is a fast-paced, detective dramedy, which revolves around a heartbroken FBI superagent by the name of Will Chase, whose moniker provides the title of the show. Will Chase is on an assignment to pick up the rogue agent Standish, who, due to his time in the agency, is able to get compromising information on major players in the FBI and CIA. Little does Chase know that the CIA has also deployed their best agent to retrieve Standish.
