Plot Synopsis
Created and written by Nick Mohammed, INTELLIGENCE is a half-hour comedy series that's set in the UK's Government Communications Headquarters -- a kind of weedier, geekier, more bureaucratic version of MI5 and MI6 -- where they tackle international and domestic Cyber Crime from a desktop. When a pompous maverick NSA agent Jerry Bernstein comes over from the U.S. to join the team, he enlists a tactless computer analyst Joseph in a power grab that threatens to disrupt the team's ability to combat cyber terrorism. INTELLIGENCE had its U.S. premiere on Wednesday, July 15, 2020 at 3:01am ET/12:01am PT, as Peacock released all six episodes of Season 1.
Season 2 of INTELLIGENCE had its U.S. premiere on Thursday, June 17, 2021, as Peacock released all six episodes of the new season. As the second season begins, it's revealed that the Russians have gotten their hands on a cyberweapon that Jerry was instrumental in developing, and his intel suddenly becomes vital to international security. Facing some demons from his past along the way, Jerry stops the cyberattack and is celebrated as a hero. However, as the season progresses, it becomes clear that the Russians are able to mutate the cyberweapon and Jerry's personal security comes under serious threat. Meanwhile, Joseph sparks up an online friendship with Charlotte from the GCHQ office. Romance blossoms, and not even Jerry's meddling or Christine's ban on cross-departmental relationships can get in the way.
