With the titular screening, the brain hacking, and the number of people Alexander Hale has to lie to, there’s a lot going for The Copenhagen Test. A whole lot. Some might even say too much– it takes more than an episode to introduce most of the elements at play, and on top of the being a regular spy, Hale has to reckon with the way everything he encounters are being witnessed by an unknown actor, as well as his higher ups in The Orphanage, due to nanobots accessing all of his senses. After a rough start introducing all this, however, this spy thriller series makes the most out of the premise, with the tech becoming the reason behind Simu Liu and Melissa Barrera’s excellent dynamic as well as refreshing many genre expectations along the way.
When an analyst discovers his eyes and ears have been hacked, he's drawn into a controlled world designed by his agency to draw out their enemies.
