Synopsis

0

A struggling female artist is recruited by a secret agency to fight against evil forces. The pilot episode features a super-intelligent ape who escapes captivity, murders several members of the Italian Mafia, spouts a half dozen catch phrases from American movies on the subject including Scarface, Goodfellas and The Godfather, before being revealed as the pawn of the true villain.

The Middleman is a freelance fixer of "exotic problems," which include mad scientists bent on taking over the world. Because of Wendy Watson's coolness under pressure and photographic memory, she gets recruited by him and Ida, a robot in the form of a grumpy schoolmarm. The series includes various pop-culture references, including many comic books, such as when Wendy calls herself "Robin the Boy Hostage," demonstrating how Robin was often kidnapped or held at gunpoint by The Joker and other villains. Wendy cites her favorite comics as Powers, Fell, Y: The Last Man, X-Men (original and not Ultimate), and The Flash (when asked which one, Barry Allen or Wally West, she says, "Do you want me to leave?").

Wendy lives in a illegal sublet apartment with her animal activist friend Lacey, across the hall from lyric-spouting Noser, and has a boyfriend in film school named Ben. (wikipedia.org)
