The Professionals
Set within Britain’s CI5, the series follows two top field agents and their hard-edged controller as they tackle terrorism and other high-profile crimes. Assigned to the toughest cases, their contrasting styles—cynical and forceful versus open-minded and principled—often spark friction while they chase criminals beyond reach.
