DEA, which stands for Drug Enforcement Administration Federal Task Force, is an intense, action-packed reality TV show that originally aired on Spike TV in April 2008. The series follows agents from the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) as they work to bust down drug trafficking organizations and arrest those involved in distributing drugs in the US.

The series begins with a short introduction to the DEA Task Force, highlighting some of the jobs that they perform. From there, the show follows along as the agents themselves are introduced, starting with their individual skills and then going into their personalities and backgrounds. Viewers of the show can expect to see agents in various fields, including those with a background in weapons expertise, tactical operations, surveillance, and others.

As the show progresses, viewers can expect to see the DEA Task Force working together to stop drug trafficking organizations. This includes everything from tracking down drug distribution rings, wiretapping phone lines and homes, and even using undercover agents to gather information. In most cases, the DEA agents work on cases for weeks or months at a time to get to the bottom of the drug trafficking organizations they're working to take down.

The show is focused primarily on the DEA agents' tactics and strategies during the operations. They use a variety of approaches to take down these drug lords, and sometimes it can be very intense as they coordinate with local state and federal agencies like the FBI and ICE.

Along with the DEA agents, viewers will also meet some of the people they work to keep safe, including witnesses, informants, and even some people who have been caught in the crossfire. By showing the impact of drug trafficking from a personal standpoint, the show makes it clear why the DEA Task Force is so dedicated to stopping this kind of illegal activity.

The agents' work takes them all around the United States, from metropolitan cities like New York and Los Angeles to more rural areas, such as Appalachia. This variety allows viewers to see the different types of drug operations that exist in the US and just how far drug lords are willing to go to continue their illegal activities.

Overall, DEA is a strikingly realistic portrayal of the tireless and often thankless work of the DEA Task Force. The show is full of intense, gritty action and occasionally heart-wrenching moments. Through the show, viewers will gain a greater understanding of the extent of the problem that drug trafficking poses in the US and just how much work it takes to fight it.

In conclusion, DEA is a thrilling show that offers viewers an inside look at the work of the DEA Task Force as they fight to take down drug trafficking organizations. Its intense action scenes and humanizing moments make it a must-watch for anyone interested in law enforcement or the fight against drug trafficking conducted by the federal agencies.
