"The Assets" premiere on ABC is nearly upon us, and now fans can watch the pilot via ABC live streaming for free online.

"This 1980s-set, eight-part series is based on the life of Sandy Grimes, a real-life CIA officer tracking one of the most notorious traitors in U.S. history. Jodie Whittaker ('Broadchurch'), Harriet Walter ('Law & Order: UK') and Paul Rhys (BBC's 'Being Human') star," says the description according to TVLine.

For ABC, there is a live stream of the channel which can be accessed here and here (depending on your region, one may be accessible over the other), and through that, fans can watch "The Assets" premiere live stream online.

There are a lot of fake channels solely for the purpose of luring viewers with ads, but here is how you can avoid any potential hiccups with pop-ups and ads.

--Do not download anything that is suggested.

--For every ad, there is an "X" button. It is typically in a corner or out of the way so it is hard to see. Sometimes ads try to fool you by giving you a fake "X" graphic which leads you to an ad. Do not be discouraged when this happens, the real "X" button is there somewhere.

--Multiple ads will pop and it takes a little bit to clear out each and every ad. Even then, pop-ups will occur as you clear the ads. Do not listen to any of these ads or pop-ups and clear them right away.

--"The Assets" premiere live stream will have recurring ads that pop up every once in a while. If this is the only way you can view "The Assets," do not be deterred and the live stream will work once the ads disappear.

Be sure to catch the premiere of "The Assets" on ABC tonight at 10pm ET.
