Christopher G @ChrisGW Feb 8 The characters are very unlikable, and it was frustrating to see Frank, Gemma, and Danny get away with murder and kidnapping (though I hope they'll get what they deserve in a future series). I couldn't stand what a tool Latif was. But the worst was Rachel and the shite job she does--especially when she told Latif and Flynn to stop following the taxi Emery was in, as she could just follow them using the live cctv footage, which she already suspects could be compromised. But by far the worst part of this show is that the Correction Agency is willing to have an elaborate and expensive clandestine program to fake cctv footage, murder people and kidnap children to protect this program, all just to be able to arrest and convict terrorists, when it would be far simpler and less expensive to simply kidnap and murder the terrorists themselves. The only positive thing I can say about this show is that the cast and dialogue are great. See more Cindy M @CindyCindy Jan 26 Clever, well written, well acted suspense! Two seasons and it could continue with more, without being redundant as the concept has room to grow which it did nicely with season two. See more G S @Getands Jan 20 Almost flawless thriller. Keeps you on the edge of your seat the whole time. Great acting ! See more Anthony M Aug 13 Have never wrote a review on a series's in my life just finished watching.Absolute pure genius. "Writers and cast take a bow!!!!" See more Gary K Jul 1 An excellent and intruiging thriller, building on something that experts are already warning about in real life (AI/deepfake/blanket surveillance). It takes current technology, turns it up a notch and weaves a tale of state complicity around questionable moral actions. The plot is complex, which is how it should be for this kind of series, and which often leads to large plot holes, but in this case doesn't. As with shows of this kind most of the characters are unlikeable, but it keeps the lead character human and vulnerable, without including scenes of sudden uncontrolled emotion. Overall it works excellently and ticks the boxes that make spy and covert ops stories work without spilling over into the ridiculous. Some of the more negative audience reviews below are odd, some missing the entire point of the story and others picking up faults that aren't there. It is well worth watching if tense thrillers and complex spy dramas are what you enjoy. See more John S @JohnSmithReviews May 19 Giving it five stars to balance out some of the crazy scores. Not the best show of this type I’ve ever seen but definitely somewhere in the 7.5-8/10 bracket. See more Read all reviews
