It's urgent escapism, and the first three episodes suggest the series will become more psychologically and narratively complex as it goes along. If you've never watched a K-drama and are curious to dip a toe into the genre, it's hard to imagine a more perfect place to start than this.

Overall, the characters are faceted, and the series is layered. Blink and you might miss a clue, an inciting incident, or an insight into how and why things began to unravel. Combine that with the friction and realistically orchestrated action, and “Tempest” enticingly plays out like a blockbuster spy thriller with a slightly slower pace than on film.

Tempest definitely shows potential in its first episode.
