It’s aiming to end before you get either bored or start tugging on the story’s numerous loose stitches. It doesn’t quite make it. Go to Full Review

3/5
This is a plot in a hurry to deliver, which – if you can accept a Pop Idol contestant as head of MI6 – it pretty much does. Go to Full Review
Dan Einav Financial Times 12/27/2022
2/5
Every potentially suspenseful development is undermined by slack characterisations and exchanges which spell out, but fail to convey, the high stakes involved. Go to Full Review

2/4
Tom Hanks and Mark Rylance sharing directing duties, with tight plotting, characters fighting for countries, and astonishing plot twists. Some situations seem outrageous and unreal but hey, we’re not spies. Go to Full Review

Dustin Rowles Pajiba 01/05/2023
Inferior in every way to Slow Horses except that it’s even shorter than the Apple TV+ series. Nevertheless, the suspense works, there are some surprising double crosses, and it’s nice to see Charlie Cox, even if he is charmless here. Go to Full Review

Ken D @KDLondon Aug 19 Nice idea with quality actors. But… a pen that that records two sides of a telephone call from 12 meters, a daughter too stupid to recognise danger, a wife who seems unaware of how responsible the position of ‘C’ actually is, phone calls made from the office on two different phones that is not picked up any surveillance, a ‘C’ who openingly discusses MI6 business with his wife… I could go on, but what’s the point? The plot might be worthy, but the execution of the plot has more holes than a piece of Swiss cheese. See more Tim J Aug 18 Couldn't finish the first episode. Dire. Holes a plenty. No sense. See more Mckenna W May 20 I loved Charlie Cox in his role as Daredevil, so I wanted to try and branch out and see if his other work was good. Other than Stardust, it isnt 😂 See more Eileen S Mar 19 Some rather awful wooden acting at times, dreadfully thin plot, very predictable, not helped by the actor who is usually always cast as the duplicitous but charming sleaze bag was there yet again. Very poor. See more Shawn C @WickedXian 09/28/2024 I dont know how I made it to the 4th episode, but halfway through it I realized that I hated it and why was I going to waste another hour and a half of my life to finish it. I stopped it, gave it a thumbs down and a week later as I'm writing this, I dont even remember what the show was about. I love Charlie Cox, so I think I was just trying to like the show, even though it was horrible. See more Kelly F 08/11/2024 This forces the personal drama into absurdity so the dumb, unbelievable espionage story will make sense. See more Read all reviews
