The first episode of this series showed so much promise. It was enthralling, different and worked in spite of a few improbable aspects. Sadly, by episode four, I felt the strong sense that anything The Old Man had aspired to be, was, well, getting old. The chemistry between the two main characters started to falter, the story line seemed increasingly ridiculous and the sense of momentum and urgency, so cleverly crafted early on, was on the wane. The anti Russian message is well past its use by date too, adding to the sense that things had gone stale. In summary, what can I say, "what a shame!". A great premise, an interestingly original story and quality acting is not enough to save this series from being "just another espionage thriller."
Read the whole review on TMDBIn the entire season 1, there may have been three action scenes. All the rest are people talking. People sitting at a table, talking. People standing in the dark, talking. People sitting in a car (not moving), talking. People sitting in a car (moving in a straight line), talking. One person sitting at a desk while another leans against a wall, talking. Talking, talking, talking, talking, talking. The show didn't GO anywhere. I can't understand how it's so well received when it's just so boring. My two regrets are that I wasted those hours of my life and that I couldn't give it less than half a star.
Read the whole review on TMDBThe ridiculous woke scene at the end of episode 4, and the ensuing simping in episode 5 ruined it. It's completely unrealistic and makes no sense, at that point I lost all respect for the main character and couldn't watch anymore of it. I can't find where it says who the director is but I assume it must be a woman and I imagine it was a change she made to story because of the obvious feminist gender bias, making an insignificant female character the dominant character over the main character just because she's a female. Up until that point I was completely engaged and enjoying the show.
