Good concept but bad implementation. Sell it to a US network.
Follows spymaster Professor Wolfgang McGee, an academic who secretly manages a roster of espionage assets. These assets, referred to as Romeo or Juliet spies, are informants engaged in intimate long or short term relations with state intelligence targets.
US-style remake of this series would emphasize college "assets" infiltrating high-level crime gangs and spy groups. Grease monkey hanging with wanna-be-but-never-will-be drug dealer and his ditz doesn't pique audience interest sufficiently.
