I see this on SuperChannel, which is a Japanese cable channel that's basically a graveyard for short-lived American TV shows. (Shaft, Serpico, Funny Face,...etc.) I got into it quickly.
This is obviously the inspiration for Matt Damon's 'Bourne' films.
The amnesia angle was played very well. Watching Frank Converse do what he felt he needed to do without knowing WHY was eerie.
You really felt for the guy. I'm surprised this show wasn't a hit and Converse wasn't a bigger star.
It was apparent that the cold war was the 'hidden' secret. But since the show never made it...we never really found out until Larry Cohen told us himself.
