This new half-hour docu-series — which premieres tonight with two backto-back episodes — presents intimate, surprisingly candid portraits of athletes, told in their own words and experienced from their perspective during the 72-hour period immediately before, during and after a landmark event in their careers.

Much like its main character, Cat Chambers (Poppy Montgomery), this engaging summer action drama from Down Under deserves points for audacity. ABC still hasn’t announced whether a Season 2 is in the cards, but that hasn’t stopped the cast and producers from delivering a cliffhanger of a Season 1 finale, “Endgame.” The story finds Cat on the run and fearing for her life. Expect hearts to be broken and multiple fates to hang in the balance.
