Scorchin' Summer Streamin' 26 - The Copenhagen Test - Season One

The Copenhagen Test is an espionage thriller series follows first-generation Chinese-American intelligence analyst Alexander Hale (Simu Liu) who realises 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 a performance 24/7 to flush out who’s responsible and prove where his allegiance lies.

The Peacock thriller stars Simu Liu & Melissa Barrera, with Liu & Aussie James Wan also serving as executive producers. 

The series premiered on Peacock late December last year. However in Australia we had to wait to last month for Binge to drop all eight episodes.

In the near future, an intelligence agent's brain is hacked, allowing the hackers access to everything he sees and hears. He must prove his allegiance and uncover the perpetrators.


Simu Liu is hot! James Wan has a great record, with the Saw film series, The Conjuring universe, Aquaman, the short lived I Know What You Did Last Summer TV series and loads more to mention.

So the boys have form. Sadly The Copenhagen Test just felt same-same.

Even Simu Liu taking his shirt off a few times could not save the series. Not sure if it is meant as a miniseries or ongoing show on Peacock. However I'd be surprised if it gets a second run in the shrinking media market. Bye bye HBO Max as it moves into Paramount+. Thank goodness I never subscribed lol

Till next time.
