Overview

After 20 years as the most kick-ass special ops agent the US government has ever had on its payroll, Black Jack finally goes too far and is de-commissioned. He’s sent home to begin the most treacherous mission he’s ever faced — normal life. [Black Jack was a planned Comedy Central single-camera action-comedy pilot developed around 2011. The series ultimately never went to full production and was shelved when Gordon Green dropped out of the project in 2012.]
