Xavier G Good but fricking depressing... Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/03/25 Full Review m j If you are expecting a James Bond or John Wick type of show you will be disappointed. This is more of a slow burn with lots of twists and turns. The characters are complex and it will be hard to decide what you think of them until later in the series when you learn more and see them in different situations. Wishaw, Holcroft, and Broadbent all do an excellent job of portraying the nuances of their characters. If I had any complaint it would be about the lose ends and the characters that appear but you don't quite know what they added. Perhaps more episodes could have resolved that since this series only had 5 episodes. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Sharon E As a drama about espionage, or the lives of the ones involved in it - this is a shallow, unrealistic and often ridiculous (max 5/10) piece of comic-strip/drama. As a drama about people and relationships - this could be an interesting, deep, touching, beautifully told and acted (9/10) drama; but only if it would give up the poor aforementioned "spy" theme and choose another, more realistic and relevant subject matter in order to inject suspense into the plot, and drama into the lives of its characters - as many European crime dramas do so well. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/08/20 Full Review Audience Member Really poor series. I did not mind the gay relationship, it was well portrayed. The series had a slow start and did pick up in the middle BUT the last episode was very poorly done. Skip this and find something better to watch. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review thomas l Alternately slow and frustrating, the pop up characters, the gruesome cause of death and the waste of a valuable resource says a lot about the length storytellers will go to in order to prolong an unsatisfying story. So many wasted, quality characters. At least the story was tied up in the last episode into a nice little bundle to stave off too many questions. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member A beautifully-done story of espionage, filled with excruciating longing and sorrow. Complicated, but not pretentious. The characters being gay is not central to the story, but the series mirrors the taboos of sex in society.
