Betrayal." to the streaming service, billed as "the true-life story of Paul Le Roux, an unassuming former programmer who built a sophisticated globe-spanning criminal empire - the sheer volume and diversity of which authorities had never before encountered - until he was taken down by his own lieutenant and the DEA and became one of the biggest criminal informants in DEA and FBI history."

And instead of having one Warder like Moiraine, she has two - Ihvon (Imani) and Maksim (Napier). The three of them have a complicated relationship built on love, sex and respect that welds them into a fearsome force in battle." (Deadline.com, 12/23)
