    With a tight focus and impressive performances, Butterfly‘s basic spycraft story feels both elevated and entertaining.

    Butterfly may not be the mind-blowing spy thriller you expect when you first turn it on, but it'll win you over with its heart.

    Butterfly does a few things quite well. Its action scenes are consistently compelling, its six fast-paced episodes fly by, and the cast is solid from top to bottom. (It's great to see Kim front and center.)

    “Butterfly” interjects a wee bit of dark humor that works and features some risky moves in its final episode. If it embraces that dark side more, it would give the series more edge and would give it more kick. As is, it’s a middling watch with a good performance from Kim.
