History
The Discovery Channel show first premiered on December 12, 2010 with a three episode pilot season. A two-year production hiatus elapsed before a full series premiered on July 11, 2013. Agents Nick Popovich (first three episodes),[2] Ken Cage, Mike Kennedy, Kevin Lacey[3] and Danny Thompson (from season one)[4] appear in the show, along with Heather Sterzick, a former military air traffic controller (from season 2).[5] Popovich claimed that later episodes are unrealistic.[6] Beginning with Season 3, the episode intro states that events have been recaptured and some details have been changed. This is to help clarify and explain the use of fixed-security cameras, used in the repo events, in an attempt to duplicate or produce found footage style cinematography.[7]
Season 2 premiered on August 22, 2014.[8] Season 3 premiered on July 15, 2015.[9]
