    The creator Thomas Brandon (“Legacies”) and his writers’ penchant for time shifts — two hours ago, eleven months before, yesterday — can make the complicated plot hard to follow and lead to binging vertigo. And yet, it satisfies our spy TV jones, and Liu passes the test as a dynamic leading man.

    The Copenhagen Test is an engaging, entertaining spy thriller with a sci-fi edge. Liu serves as a strong lead for the series, boasting strong action chops and great chemistry with Barrera.

    “The Copenhagen Test” provides pleasures enough to warrant an advisory: Slog through episode 1. It may seem disjointed and misdirected, with people in backgrounds moving like robots (not a spoiler) and a plotline that’s almost deliberately arcane. Just chalk it up to the curse of the eight-part suspense-thriller: There is time to throw a bunch of messy stuff against the wall. By episode 2, it congeals into something like a coherent picture.
