Intelligence is an American cyber-themed action-adventure television series that airs on CBS in the United States. It premiered on January 7, 2014, at 9:00 p.m. ET/8:00 p.m. CT on CBS, before a move to its permanent time slot on Mondays at 10:00 p.m. ET/9:00 p.m. CT on January 13. The series was originally scheduled to premiere on February 24, 2014.
The series was created by Michael Seitzman, who serves as an executive producer along with Tripp Vinson, and Barry Schindel, for ABC Studios and CBS Television Studios.
The book Phoenix Island (Simon & Schuster, scheduled publication date January 21, 2014), by John Dixon, is credited as source material, though screenwriter Michael Seitzman was granted separation of rights and "Created by" credit from the Writers Guild of America because the script for the show and underlying concept had moved so far away from the book.
Plot

Lillian Strand (Marg Helgenberger from CSI:Crime Scene Investigation), the director of the United States Cyber Command who supports Gabriel and oversees the unit's missions, assigns Riley Neal (Meghan Ory), a Secret Service agent, to protect Gabriel from outside threats, as well as from his appetite for reckless, unpredictable behaviors and disregards for protocols.
