Jean-Claude Van Damme plays multiple roles in the series: a fictionalized version of himself/secret agent Johnson, and Filip, a fan who happens to share his face.

The series was produced by Ridley Scott through his production company Scott Free Productions in partnership with Amazon Studios.

The show first aired as a pilot episode on August 19, 2016, and was only officially picked up as a full series about a month later, on September 27, 2016.

The series was cancelled after just one season on January 18, 2018, despite receiving generally positive reviews from critics, holding a 70% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 33 reviews.

A recurring joke in the show has Jean-Claude constantly referencing his own real-life action films while undercover, reflecting his fragile ego whenever people fail to recognize him.

Another running gag depicts Jean-Claude repeatedly finding himself in absurd, movie-style scenarios he recognizes from his own films, such as enemies attacking him one at a time instead of all at once.
