The eight-part spy drama series features George as Sam, a highly skilled operative for an elite private intelligence firm.

The Australian actress told Cinemax: “You don’t want to cross Sam. She is still the firm’s best operative, but since the attempt on her life, any trust she had for the firm and her co-workers is gone. That is why she is so determined to go back to work and face her team – she really believes that one of them is behind it. She is a very complicated person and not easy to get to know.”

She continued: “When the trauma of her past resurfaces, it sends her down a certain path. In many ways, she identifies with Eddie, the child she is tutoring in her mission. Because of their similar experiences, he has a huge effect on her that she wasn’t anticipating. She struggles with caring too much, which can be a liability in her business.”
