I waded through this up to the end of episode 4, then just had to give up. The lead is so INCREDIBLY incompetent it is simply unbelievable that she could ever be a real security services officer.
A fairly slight woman who INSISTS on confronting a Russian assassin ALONE, only to then, when she catches up with him, find - whoops! - she doesn't have enough hands to take him into custody. Not that he is anything other that a bio-terrorist - so no great need for caution, then!
Simply impossible to watch this childishly written, woodenly acted, cliché-ridden nonsense without experiencing such exasperation at the sheer, cretinous INCOMPETENCE of what is laughably portrayed as British security services (half a dozen people operating out of an HQ that looks like an abandoned secondary school!) that I had to stop watching for the sake of my mental wellbeing.
Seldom has an interesting idea been so heroically badly written, acted and directed. What an astonishingly cack-handed show - a real missed opportunity.
AVOID!!
