Hi Treadstone<\/a> Lovers!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Treadstone<\/a> is an excellent action science fiction thriller that is brought to our screens by NBC Universal Content Productions<\/a> dovetailing the world of Jason Bourne<\/a>, a successful series of movies that took the world by storm beginning in 2002.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In Treadstone<\/a>, the story arc unfolds with \u201cCicada\u201d like, dormant secret assassin agents across our world waking up to resume their deadly missions. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Cicada are triggered by factors that will be revealed as this outstanding entertainment product unfolds before our very eyes on USA Network<\/a>.
\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Much like the Bourne series, each agent in Treadstone<\/a> appears to be a CIA assassin suffering from dissociative amnesia having been reprogrammed with different identities. Each agent must determine out who he or she really is.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The successful Bourne series was created by famous author Robert Ludlum<\/a> (1927-2001) in which The Treadstone<\/a> Project created Jason Bourne<\/a> portrayed by Matt Damon<\/a>. Damon starred in all the films sans one, when the Jason character was replaced by Jeremy Renner<\/a> who portrayed a character named Aaron Cross that has to deal with the fallout of Jason Bourne. Matt Damon came back to star in the fifth and final film released in 2016 that wrapped the Bourne story arc nicely.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Although all of Ludlum’s novels were adapted faithfully for the big screen, the series actually started in 1988 as a television movie. Treadstone<\/a> as a television series is a new spin off that leverages The Treadstone<\/a> Project concept in which Ludlum is given posthumous credit as a writer for the first four critical episodes that sets the foundation of this exciting new series.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Treadstone<\/a> is the creation of Executive Producer Tim Kring<\/a>, known for his work in the original Knight Rider in 1986. Kring is well known for Crossing Jordan (2001-2007), Heroes (2006-2010), Touch (2012-2013), and Heroes Reborn (2015-2016) among many other fine entertainment products<\/a>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Having heard of Treadstone<\/a> from tweets by Brian Jacob Smith<\/a> on Twitter, we at Team WHR<\/a> have Brian followed since his starring role in Stargate Universe<\/a> (2009-2011). <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Smith has been featured in science fiction series we loved including Warehouse 13<\/a>, Defiance<\/a>, and Sense8<\/a>. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Smith is a Julliard trained actor of high caliber and quality whom we admire. Smith is also starring in another new series World On Fire<\/a> (2019-). We suggest you check out this superb series in addition to Treadstone.<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Our interest in Treadstone<\/a> was further piqued when we found out that Michelle Forbes<\/a> was an anchor character portraying Treadstone<\/a> CIA Operative Ellen Becker. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Ms Forbes admirers will recall her memorable performances as Ensign Ro in Star Trek<\/a>: The Next Generation (1989-1994), 24 (2001-2010) and importantly the second iteration of Battlestar Galactica (2005-2009) when she reprised the role of Commander Cain (originally played by Lloyd Bridges) from the original BSG when Michelle portrayed the role as a female Admiral Cain.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Michele also was a recurring character as well in the runaway hit series Orphan Black<\/a> (2013-2017) to name but a few of her many accomplishments<\/a>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Treadstone<\/a>

Treadstone<\/a> features many fine actors including Jeremy Irvine<\/a> as J. Randolf Bentley, Hyo-Joo Han<\/a> as SoYun Pak, Gabrielle Scharnitzky<\/a> as Petra the Russian, Emilia Sch\u00fcle<\/a> as young Petra, Tracy Ifeachor<\/a> as Tara Coleman, Michael Gaston<\/a> as Dan Levine, Omar Metwally<\/a> as Matt Edwards, legendary actor Tzi Ma<\/a> as General Kwon, and many more fine actors<\/a>!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

As described by the USA Network, Treadstone<\/a> utilizes flashbacks including \u201cto the 1950s, the CIA started a series of highly classified programs experimenting on human subjects in order to develop drugs and procedures for the purpose of mind control. These programs were in response to the alleged use of mind control techniques by foreign powers at the height of the Cold War, most notably the Soviet Union.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

With Smith and Forbes, two fabulous actors anchoring key character roles in the series, Team WHR<\/a> followed the Treadstone<\/a> series and tweeted along with the actors during the two premiere episodes. Subsequent to viewing the second episode, we decided to form a team to write analysis of the series due to the superior high quality characteristics of the program.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We are publishing our analysis of \u201cThe Kwon Conspiracy\u201d concurrent with the premiere episode \u201cThe Cicada Protocol\u201d because the two episodes play like a single movie in our opinion. In fact, we think Treadstone<\/a> should have been a two hour premiere. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
