In an attempt to set itself apart from other series, NBC's Allegiance, premiering tonight, takes the most common elements of two types of shows and splices them to create something somewhat original. On one side, it's about a socially awkward, but brilliant, crime investigator who's smarter than any of his peers. On the other, it's about a family whose dark secret comes back to haunt them. Combined, Allegiance falls somewhere between crime procedural and family drama.
Set in the present day, the series follows Alex O'Connor (Gavin Stenhouse), a rookie CIA analyst specialized in Russian affairs, whose family has direct ties to the KGB -- unbeknownst to him. For decades, Alex's parents Katya (Hope Davis) and Mark (Scott Cohen) were deactivated, but now the Kremlin has re-enlisted them to turn their son into a KGB spy before he uncovers a terrorist plot that could bring America to its knees.
