NSA computer technician Jake Foley is transformed into a secret agent after he is accidentally infected with nanobots, based on nanotechnology that reduce the size of a computer to the molecular level, which give him superhuman powers. With his new abilities, he can hack into anything electronic and control it. His medical and emotional state is carefully watched over by Dr. Diane Hughes, who is far too human for her job with the NSA. Struggling in his early tasks with the NSA, Jake must prove himself and yield results or be locked up for "research."

[Christopher] Gorham plays Jake with such boyish sweetness that he confers humanity on this bubble-gum escapism. Go to Full Review Steve Johnson Chicago Tribune 11/08/2019
In the hands of executive producers including David Greenwalt and Gina Matthews, it manages a delicate balance of sci-fi smarts, character-based comedy and empathetic study of what it means to catapult from average to exceptional. Go to Full Review Melanie McFarland Seattle Post-Intelligencer 03/01/2019
Though packed with dialogue as familiar as the show's well-trodden premise, [Christopher] Gorham's average Joe personality made the pilot enjoyable. Go to Full Review Tom Jicha South Florida Sun-Sentinel 11/08/2019
The sci-fi elements are so tired and derivative, the young-love angle might be Jake 2.0's only hope to find an audience. Go to Full Review People Staff People Magazine 11/08/2019
[Christopher] Gorham is an appealing lead, and the show is fun to watch as long as it stays committed to the idea that Jake is still a seminerd despite his special features. Go to Full Review Josh Friedman Baltimore Sun 11/08/2019
Jake 2.0 is a promising lightweight action romp from creator Silvio Horta. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
