With a name like this I thought it was some sort of computer hacking conspiracy drama so I skipped reading the description. Turns out The Code is a Marine Corps JAG legal drama that lasted one half-season of 12 episodes.

Characters

• Captain John Abraham (Luke Mitchell) - a defense attorney (and closest to a primary lead in the show)
• Major Trey Ferry (Ato Essandoh) - Captain Abraham's partner and supervisor
• Captain Maya Dobbins (Anna Wood) - a prosecuting attorney often assigned to the same case as Abraham and Ferry
• Colonel Glenn Turnbull (Dana Delaney) - commander of the JAG department in Washington DC
• 1st Lieutenant Harper Li (Phillipa Soo) - a rookie defense attorney sometimes paired up with Captain Abraham
• Warrant Officer Rami Ahmadi (Raffi Barsoumian) - office administrative assistant who knows everything

It's an episodic show and varies as to format. A lot of times the attorneys go to the field to investigate and we get to see a wide variety of military locations. There is often some courtroom drama but some episodes don't have any as the case is solved before then.

There are the usual character subplots. There is a bit of a through line for Captain Abraham as his good friend is killed in an early episode, then Abraham falls for his friend's wife (and vice versa), and finally becomes a witness to her lawsuit against the Marine Corps which puts him at odds with the rest of the Corps and to be continued if show had been renewed.

Good characters, good military action, interesting stories. Too bad the show was cancelled.
