I have Treat’s first episode of AMERICAN ODYSSEY for you. Overall a really good series opener. I really like Treat’s character of Col. Stephen Glen, and the whole premise of the show. This show has so far a twelve episode order and will air into June. As a mid-season replacement, I’m hoping it gets really good numbers so if you’re a Treat fan, please watch and get the show trending on Twitter using the hashtag #nbcodyssey. That will help.

NBC has finally put up a page on Treat’s new show. Information is as follows:

In this “Traffic”-like action drama, an international conspiracy explodes when three strangers’ lives unexpectedly collide – a female soldier, a corporate lawyer and a political activist.

After a team of American soldiers battle jihadists in North Africa, they’re shocked to find that one of the men they killed is Al Qaeda’s top man. Sergeant Odelle Ballard – a soldier, mother, wife and the unit’s only female member – discovers computer files that suggest a major U.S. corporation is funding the jihadists. But before she can tell anyone, her team is attacked and left for dead. News is reported that the unit was wiped out, but the truth is that Odelle survived and is the only witness to her unit’s assassination by U.S. Special Forces.

In New York, former U.S. Attorney Peter Decker is working on a merger deal for the same company that was funneling money to the jihadists. And meanwhile, Harrison Walters, a political activist and trust fund kid, meets a hacker who claims to have unearthed a massive military-industrial conspiracy. And he’s right: he’s stumbled onto the cover-up that began with Odelle and will soon be out in the open… and everyone’s lives will be in danger. The only way they’ll ever save their country, their families and themselves is by joining forces and exposing the people behind it.

From director Peter Horton (“Grey’s Anatomy”) comes a complex journey through global politics, military secrets and three strangers who only have one thing in common… the truth.

One-hour drama

This is good news. I’m looking forward to seeing Treat again on a regular basis.
