I look at this as a serious version of Chuck, which fixes a major problem with Chuck's Intersect in that Chuck couldn't be updated with current information. However, I'm having some logic issues with it for the "suspension of disbelief" thing.
1) A billion dollars to have only one chip and one person implanted before they dismiss the creator of the chip? Who then is ignored and thereby allowed to tinker further on his own without his former employer's knowledge to create a second one? And what's the purpose of having only one in the first place? If you can't create an army of chipped field agents, why bother?
2) Only the one chipped agent, and they risk his ass by allowing him to do field work? You'd think they'd lock him in the analysis room, plug him into the system and just keep telling him "Here's the problem. Do your thing and tell us your best solution."
3) Second episode has this previously unknown and undetectable explosive (developed to reduce toxicity and increase safety for its handlers) where the government agency figures out the manufacturer by checking patent filings. Really? I find it hard to believe they'd file a patent before completing the development, or at all for that matter. The competitive advantage of keeping this proprietary would be enormous. And then to be so lax with security as to let the prototype be stolen?
There may have been other quibbles, but I've forgotten. We'll give it a few more viewings before deciding if it's a keeper on our schedule.
