From the world of Jason Bourne, "Treadstone" is an action-packed thriller set amidst the black ops program Operation Treadstone. exploring both the origins of the infamous covert program, as well as connecting to present-day special ops, "Treadstone" follows the action across the globe -- from D.C. to Berlin to Paris and beyond. "Treadstone" turns its recruits around the world into nearly superhuman assassins using a secret behavior-modification protocol, creating sleeper agents who are mysteriously "awakening" to resume their dangerous missions.

Critics Consensus

While Treadstone is as action-packed and frenetically paced as you'd expect from the Bourne universe, it lacks the narrative momentum and cohesion necessary to set it apart.

It's like a Jason Bourne movie squared, cubed and extruded every which way as this compelling new series takes Robert Ludlum's Bourne trilogy mythology to places it's never been.

As spy dramas go, this one is better left out in the cold.

In Treadstone we have more distraction than emotional resonance, sold with the fantasy of precision-driven, expert violence. No doubt, this is a vintage approach. It also feels right for right now.

…doesn’t blow the Bourne films away, but doesn’t try to; as an act of universe expansion, it’ll provide fans of the franchise with some welcome service in a way that’s far more stimulating than the treading water featured in the last two movies…

Really good show and yes, it's too bad there is only one season and nobody else picked it up. There is so much good material. I had a bit of a hard time because jumps from one story line to another were quick and felt abrupt, but other than that show is enjoyable, and comparing series with the movies isn't fair.

Terrible writing, the dialog is juvenile and predicable, the acting of several of the main Characters was so bad it was reminiscent of a Mexican novella. Is it cost 300The soundtrack was a joke, something out of an 80s movie on a budget, and the cinematography was amature at times. So yeah, they pretty much ruined the story. This series was a joke and basically a WB series, it was a total flop. I tried to finish watching it but it was just so bad it was becoming almost painful to watch it.

You have to appreciate the effort from the producers in creating this show. They deliver a power packed, action filled follow on series that pays homage to the Bourne legacy (not the 2nd Bourne movie which was the weakest link in the franchise) The multiple story lines in play creates intense and gripping viewing. The action pieces are great (unlike the close up mish-mash from the legacy movie....I really didn't enjoy that movie :) a few good twists as well. Well worth the 4.5 out of 5.

I know many didn't like, it, but I enjoyed it. Ep9 and 10 brought interesting twists. Loved seeing more detail of the movies I enjoyed. Bring it back!

Could of been OK but as action film and action was ruined completely by shitty camera work that jumping all over the place made hard to watch those parts. Fix terrible job did camera work and would of been OK...
