What is The Copenhagen Test all about, and what to expect

The new series will follow Simu Liu's Alexander Hale and his complicated life after getting his brain hacked by unknown people. Peacock's synopsis of the series reads: 

"This espionage thriller series follows first-generation Chinese-American intelligence analyst Alexander Hale, who realizes his brain has been hacked, giving the perpetrators access to everything he sees and hears. Caught between his shadowy agency and the unknown hackers, he must maintain performance 24/7 to flush out who's responsible and prove where his allegiance lies."

The official trailer dropped on December 8 teased the thrills and intrigue of the plot. It teased Melissa Barrera's mysterious character and her connection to Hale. She claims in the trailer that "they" want her to play his girlfriend, teasing her character as the agent picked to watch Alexander Hale. 

And if the trailer is any indication of what The Copenhagen Test season 1 is bringing to Peacock, viewers can expect plenty of action-packed scenes from Simu Liu's character. Barrera could also be in on the action.
