A jittery, offbeat comedy where a tough guy's panic attacks and odd therapy sessions make for an amusingly tense watch.

Tagline: The Agency's best has a bad case of nerves.
Overview: Legendary undercover DEA agent Charlie Mayough has suddenly lost his nerves of steel. On the verge of a career-induced mental breakdown, and in complete fear of trigger-happy Mafia leader Fulvio Nesstra, Charlie seeks psychiatric help and finds himself relying on the support of an unstable therapy group and nurse Judy just to get through his work.
How it feels: Dark, satirical, cynical and romantic. Measured and easy to follow.
About: Identity, healing, crime, deception
Content: Strong violence and language. Mild gore and sexual content.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
