Can this show recruit enough viewers in the first season of USA Network’s Treadstone TV show? As we all know, the Nielsen ratings typically play a big role in determining whether a TV show like Treadstone is cancelled or renewed for season two. Unfortunately, most of us do not live in Nielsen households. Because many viewers feel frustration when their viewing habits and opinions aren’t considered, we invite you to rate all of the first season episodes of Treadstone here. *Status update below.
A USA Network action-thriller series, the Treadstone TV show stars Jeremy Irvine, Brian J. Smith, Omar Metwally, Tracy Ifeachor, Hyo Joo Han, Gabrielle Scharnitzky, Emilia Schüle, and Michelle Forbes, with Patrick Fugit, Michael Gaston, Shruti Haasan, and Tess Haubrich in recurring roles. Created by Tim Kring and connected to the Bourne film franchise, the show explores both the origin of the CIA black ops program — Operation: Treadstone — and its present-day actions. Treadstone uses behavior modification protocol to turn recruits into nearly superhuman assassins. Sleeper agents across the globe — from D.C. to Berlin to Paris and beyond — as they are mysteriously “awakened” to resume their deadly missions.
Characters include: Doug McKenna (Smith), an all-American oil-rig worker; SoYun Pak (Han), a piano instructor, wife, and mother in North Korea; John Randolph Bentley (Irvine), a spy dispatched by the CIA to eliminate a key target; Matt Edwards (Metwally), a CIA operative who has experience hunting down rogue assets; Tara Coleman (Ifeachor), an investigative journalist; Petra (Scharnitzky), a no-nonsense Russian patriot; Ellen Becker (Forbes), a savvy CIA veteran trying to balance the demands of work and family; and a Russian KGB agent (Emilia Schüle) who will stop at nothing to promote the agenda of her motherland.

Great show. Hope it returns .
An amazing show. Please renew now for multiple seasons
Please, please renew for more seasons! Awesome show!
Thought treadstone was a well made and well acted with good story line it was fast paced thriller hope for a second series really impressed totally enjoyed it
With an ending like that we must see more! Each episode was exciting and full of action. Season 2 would be nice please!
One of the best TV programs ever shown, not for KIDS, finally an adult program. Moves fast must watch carefully, I PRAY YOU PLAN TO CONTINUE THIS SHOW THIS SPRING OR EARLY WINTER
We love Treadstone, no other shows like this!!!
Please renew this series! Love the plots and action, especially featuring the Soyun Pak character! Love the dynamics involved with her family! More Soyun Pak and family!!!
Please renew. I look forward to each new episode.
RENEW IT!!! IT HAS HUGE RATINGS ON DVD AND IT’S REALLY GOOD!!!
First, the show has too many subplots going at the same time. It is hard to follow. Second, it is too violent, even for an adult. Third, it is not necessary to use filthy language to get the point across. Our kids and many adult kids repeat everything they hear.
The actual Bourne movies were much better in general. However, Treadstone has some nice offshoots with the people from countries with subtitles. But, overall, the show is too convoluted.
This is most definitely not a series for children . In my opinion, it’s neither convoluted or running too many subplots, rather the writers have succeeded in intelligently telling a complicated story with a lot of moving parts involving a lot of characters over a long period of time.
Please renewed so good love it,
I think this show has alot of potential. As I’ve liked all Bourne movies, I wouldnt put too much stock in the younger generation not watching as they wouldnt know quality if it bit them. For me I like this show
Well, we sat through the whole show but doubt we’ll do it again. Way too confusing.
Not feeling Treadstone not all movies can become a TV series and Treadstone us one of them. Throw this out with the bathwater. Tries too hard and predictable.
I see this series as continuing to develop. I don’t think it’s predictable at all. I’m particularly fascinated by the North Korean elements. This show is turning into a classic.
