What kind of watch this is
CIA is a 2026 crime drama that pits a strict rule-follower against a chaotic agent who ignores them. The premise is simple: two men, one mission, two very different methods. It leans into the friction between their approaches to uncovering secrets. With 16 episodes across 2 seasons, the total runtime is 11 hours. That is a specific amount of time to spend watching two people disagree on how to do their jobs.
What the critics said
Rotten Tomatoes tallies 63% approval across 8 reviews, a number that suggests the show found an audience but not a consensus. Metacritic is less generous, landing on 47 out of 100 based on 5 critics. It labels the reception "mixed or average," a verdict that sounds like the critical equivalent of a shrug. The scores sit in the middle, which is where most things end up when the data is this thin.
How it did with audiences
There is no box office figure to dissect, so the verdict rests on the TMDB user score. It sits at 8.4 out of 10. That is a high number, suggesting the audience found something they liked enough to rate it well. In the absence of ticket sales, that score is the only hard evidence we have.
