Saw it tonight and it shows promise. The Handler is about a guy who is in charge of people who are doing undercover work. The pilot showed how dangerous undercover jobs can be, with some success stories and a not-so-successful undercover job.

Moves at a good clip. I think if you like The Shield, you might like this.
