Each of these agents comes from unconventional backgrounds. Mara’s character Poet is an ex-nurse, Lennix (Brian J. Smith) comes from a family of politicians, Tayo (Brian Tyree Henry) was in insurance, and Hour (Moafi) is the daughter refugees. While each person is navigating U.S. law enforcement, the series also explores how artificial intelligence and algorithms impact the justice system. Poet is particularly significant, known as one of the most successful undercover agents in history. Sepideh Moafi’s first on screen credit came in 2013 in a guest role on an episode of police procedural “Blue Bloods” (CBS, 2010-). The next year, she appeared in no fewer than six roles, including her first recurring role on a series. Most were guest roles in high profile series like “The Good Wife”(CBS, 2009-2016) and “Nurse Jackie”(Showtime, 2009-2015).
