I dunno about this one. It starts out well enough, we've got a woman who used to be a Soviet assassin, but escaped when the Soviet Union collapsed. Plausible enough since presumably the whole Soviet intelligence apparatus was thrown in chaos. But now the CIA has found her. The way they do it is they threaten to kill her, whereupon she reacts by taking out a good dozen agents in a well choreographed fight scene. Only problem here is I doubt the CIA would expend so many people on this task. Several of the injuries she inflicted would have been crippling or fatal in real life. But it made a good fight scene.
So now she is being coerced by the CIA to do some dirty work. The first episode ends with her being cornered by a dozen thugs in a prison, so she pulls out all stops and turns into the Hulk, doubling her size and bulk by using some sooper-sekret Soviet technology embedded in her body. The show was okay up to this point but this might be just a little too far over the top.
