Big disappointment. A thriller with no thrills. Uninspired acting, lazy writing, banal dialogue. Logic gaps in the story. The camera work is boring. I watched 2.5 episodes hoping it would get better. It didn't. That's it for me.

Nope. I just can't buy into an action thriller where the lead looks like he's still in high school.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Watched the whole series. Amateurish effort all around. The premise of the plot is absurd. The way that the agencies interact is absurd. Major holes in the story. Lack of knowledge of cinemaphotography. The main "spy" never checked for tracking devices on his vehicle. The head of an agency had spyware on her phone. The bad guys can't shoot straight. In plain view of passengers, a guy takes off his backpack and dumps it on a train. Only the hero spy spots this. The digital files critical to the safety of the country are stored on an ssd without a backup. They are standard drafting plans that every engineer and architect can read by 1st year of university but these plans need someone special to read them. "What's this object?" "You mean the one with Gas Pipeline written on it?" It's buried and supposedly will explode destroying 2 city blocks when a bomb inside a train in a nearby tunnel explodes. Well, the same design of bomb couldn't even damage our hero lying in the open 5 yards away from the explosion. Etc.… Expand

The show started off promising but went into the deep end trying to come up with twists and turns. The motivation for many of the characters don't really make sense until the final episode where all logic was just thrown out the window. IThe show started off promising but went into the deep end trying to come up with twists and turns. The motivation for many of the characters don't really make sense until the final episode where all logic was just thrown out the window. I don't know how Netflix can keep wasting money on these mediocre shows due to writers lacking common sense on basic human behaviour.… Expand

To be clear, I'm not saying this is a great show, but considering the state of the modern entertainment industry, it's watchable. The writing is barely passable, although the characters are all cliché and the plot is predictable. It's more like rewatching a show you've already seen instead of watching something new. The acting and directing are acceptable, not great, but acceptable. There's too much sex and violence. I think writers fall back on those tropes when they can't think of anything else. They didn't have enough story to fill up the episodes so they threw in a few fights and some sex to fill in time. If you are looking for something mindless to watch while you play a video game, this show is an acceptable option.… Expand
