Although character decisions would have strengthened the story, the overarching narrative was interesting enough to keep me engaged throughout.
-
The Assassin is also spoiled by being overly derivative, to the point of being distracting. .... None of that is criminal, and doesn’t stop The Assassin from being intriguing and very, very nearly working – but it renders it frustrating.
-
A series with a first-rate cast that suffers a few too many self-inflicted wounds.
-
The Assassin is light, makes very little sense and will satisfy fans of Highmore and Hawes more than casual genre devotees.
