Plot


Gabriel Vaughn is an ex–United States Army Delta Force operator and a high-tech intelligence operative enhanced with a super-computer microchip in his brain. With this implant, Gabriel is the first human ever to be connected directly into the globalized information grid. He can get into any of its data centers and access key intel files in the fight to protect the United States from its enemies. Lillian Strand, the Director of the United States Cyber Command who supports Gabriel and oversees the unit's missions, assigns United States Secret Service Special Agent Riley Neal to protect Gabriel from outside threats, as well as from his appetite for reckless, unpredictable behaviors and disregard for protocols. Meanwhile, Gabriel takes advantage of his chip to search for his wife, CIA officer Amelia Hayes, who disappeared years ago after being sent by the CIA to infiltrate and prevent the Lashkar-e-Taiba from carrying out a terrorist attack in Mumbai, India.

Episodes






Influences


The plot is said to have been inspired by the novel Phoenix Island by John Dixon, but some critics have their reservations.
In episode 13, it was revealed that the name "Clockwork" was based on the 1879 short story "The Ablest Man in the World" by Edward Page Mitchell. The story is about a man who was mute and mentally handicapped and grew up in a mental asylum. His life was changed when a scientist replaced his brain with a clockwork device that intended to make the patient—who has become a Russian baron at the time of the story—become Russia's answer to Napoleon.




Reception






= Critical response

=
David Hinckley of New York Daily News gave the show three out of five stars. Tim Goodman of The Hollywood Reporter said the show goes overboard on the merging of humans and computer technology. Darren Franich of Entertainment Weekly said "those hoping the show will be Sawyer, P.I. will be disappointed, but there's potential." On Rotten Tomatoes, the series has an aggregate score of 38% based on 13 positive and 21 negative critic reviews. The website consensus reads: "Intelligence fails to live up to its name, with corny dialogue and overblown violence that cannot be rescued by its capable leading actors."
