Call Tracking

The first and second episode was a tell tale sign of what is coming. There is no way that there is no discussion about how Rose led them to him Peter. And of cause the premise had to be set where she was told that she is not part of the spy world not family and do not know how it works. It was predictable. I mean by now she should be aware of the spy world. If it is action you are after by all means but if you are looking for the same intrigue of the first season you can give this a miss. The chemistry between Rose and Peter somehow got lost or stayed in season one. I was excited for this season but got defeated in episode 2.

Just felt this was pretty predictable. I'm pretty let down on this season so far. Hopefully it gets better further on. I loved season one and was very thrilled with it. I was excited when I heard season two was confirmed with a release date. Unfortunately, this episode has let down that excitement and brought my expectations down exponentially. It just was heavily predictable, and felt like it was just trying to fit in with all the other media. I heavily dislike when shows attempt to compare to other shows, because it ruins that unique feeling and originality of the show. Season one felt original, season two seems basic based on this episode.

Peter is terrible at inconspicuously following people.

At the very beginning of the episode, they (Peter and his fellow agent) notice that the suspicious person they're tailing may believe that he's being followed, so they say "let's give him some space". In the very next scene, they're following him in the open, at most 5-10 metres behind, not even pretending to do anything else.

When a person he's following stops at any point, Peter's tactic is to also suddenly stop, and then just turn slightly to the side and essentially do nothing, no attempt to appear natural.

At the end of the episode, Peter is following a target under a bridge at night, barely using his plentiful useful surroundings to hide himself, mostly walking briskly in the single light that could alert the suspect to his presence. At least he was maybe 15 metres back this time. An improvement I guess. Shockingly, he is noticed, and the suspect flees.

I get that it's probably due to camera blocking purposes, but it still made me yell at the TV.

Otherwise, it's much of the same as season 1. Entertaining, silly, poorly written but enjoyable all the same.

I'm not exaggerating when I say that my wife and I would definitely be better night agents than Peter. Everything from this "covert agent" ridiculously following behind a mark and the mark not even checking behind him to so many ridiculous starts and stops. The premise of a "night agent" is already ridiculous and the previous season was borderline believable even in intrigue fiction, but this season is definitely not starting out on a good note.

Why everyone in the previous season, continuing on into the premise of everyone this season not being on Peter's side makes for a contrived sub plot. The guy saved the president, I think he's earned some street cred. The good news is episode two has nowhere to go but up.

If you pardon the pun ofcourse. This series has been so far very Entertaining and the connective tissue between stories isn't a familiar trait as you might expect, so to see the story pull it off was somewhat of a surprise. The story does have some rushed storybeats but remains fluid In it's pacing and breathes air to the series. Season 2 does it differently with how it starts, giving us that sense of danger and intensity right at the start and it's prolific with it. The story has that energy and that burst that makes it fun and very on-edge.

The story had lots of fun action-sequences and seeing both of our Characters split apart created a more tension based drama that interconnected 2 stories into a singular episode and it's pulled off rather well, Pete and Rose both have interesting storylines, Pete is In Bangkok pretending to be someone else and tries investigating a mystery. And Rose is company is trying to go further and bigger, both trying to Complete different things.

I liked this section because both of them could re-unite and that means we get a good moment, They didn't try as hard to find Pete, but this first story does seem to have less flaws on it's bingo cards as it doesn't seem that apparent here. But it was still pointed out, however Rose finding him meant that it was a good moment and filled the time of friendship well, although rushed I think the moment perfectly capitulated their friendship.

The story was fun and fresh which made it interesting because the action was great as it had lots of moments of fast paced adrenaline fueled moments, and had lots of rushed gun-shots that seemed hard-hitting and created more of that danger and awearness. I also Liked the fact the separate stories then connected into one wild goose chase.

I rate it an 8 Because the Characters are well-explored and written, the storyline was superbly done, and it was simply very Entertaining.
