Beaver C @TD2328 Aug 25, 2026 Zee Jean Claude Balls part deux was terrible. Slow, boring, acting was horrible. Just dragged on and on. Season 1 was fantastic. Not this. See more Joe C @JoeCoffee Feb 4, 2025 Drastic drop in quality from Season 1. Fiona Shaw over-emoting in nearly every scene she inhabits and Baptiste's wife is reduced to a shrewish scold. This is the fault of the writers, of course, who also overused flashback & flash-forwards to add some zip to what is a shallow mystery and failing miserably. Season 1 also benefited from the powerhouse performance by Tom Hollander. Sadly, there's nothing of that caliber here. See more Jan 10, 2022 Story not convincing at all. Sentimental. Very melodramatic. Very weak compared to the 1st seasonof Baptiste. See more Dec 6, 2021 I cannot believe how absurd and implausible this season is. Did no one along the course of producing this show do any research at all into the life and work of the diplomatic corps and what that actually means? She was a UK ambassador; an attack on her is like an attack on the UK. She would've been immediately recalled to London for her protection and dozens of agents would've been sent to Hungary to deal with the attack on her family. That should would be walking around Budapest, unprotected and on her own, is ridiculous. For starters, from the get-go, she would've been protected by military or security guards—she's an ambassador! And the idea that London would not follow up on the attack and that it would need to be solved by the ragtag little trio—it just beggars belief. The storyline is just ludicrous. See more Dec 5, 2021 Enjoyed the first season. The second season is SLOW moving. Could have benefit from significant editing, perhaps winding up with a total of 2 episodes in the end. Has felt like more of a school assignment to see the whole thing through. Wouldn't seek it out for a further season, that's for certain. Disappointing this time around. See more Nov 1, 2021 I watched the first season of Baptiste and thought it was pretty well-played. However, with the second season, I've watched 2 episodes and will not be continuing. It is so disjointed and distracting with the constant back-and-forth between present and past. It was very confusing and unenjoyable for me. See more Read all reviews
