    I think the show is good, but it could be so much better. I feel they are trying to keep it almost as a family show, when it would be better if it were a bit darker.

    I wouldn't have chosen to watch from the trailers, but my wife recorded it. From the trailer I was confident in the female leads ability to play her character well but I had my doubts about the male lead. Well we watched it and I was wrong.

I instantly loved the male lead, his character wasn't cliche or swashbuckling as you might expect. His character is a successful and talented agent with a detrimental level of sensitivity that makes for a really fun time. In fact every character in this show was utterly dripping with awesome character. I am really going to enjoy this series.

    Oh and the cinematography and editing is really top notch. Most people don't notice those things when they are good but you will know they are good when they hook you in deep within a fully coherent and scripted episode.

    There is plenty of room for improvement and I think the show is still trying to figure out if it wants to be more like Alias or more like Castle. Perhaps it can find a happy middle to which I would be fine with and for now, it's scratching a semi-serious itch for something spy like.

    Whiskey Cavalier has an appealingly daft streak of sophomoric loopiness.

    As sleek as it is silly, Whiskey goes down smoothly if pure escapism is your tonic of choice. [4-17 Mar 2019, p.11]

    Foley, Cohan and the supporting cast members need not unduly worry whether their adventures are all that plausible. What matters is whether this show is fun to watch regardless. Which it is.
