A Family Matter

This episode was okay until it got to Farhad. Here is a great idea, lets briefly introduce a character we know nothing about, and then have him solely there as a frustratingly-annoying plot device to make the extraction difficult. Watching him argue with his mom and his sister is the kind of amateurish screenwriting decision that is not remotely entertaining to the viewer.

Totally disagree with the previous reviews. My wife can't take this show because the tension is too ramped up. Well, life doesn't come all ribbons and bows. People are unpredictable. The plot twist by the brother lifted me out of my seat and kept me riveted for the next 15 minutes. It wasn't totally surprising when you factor in the risks and the arrival of the unknown agent. A terrific roller coaster.

But a couple of issues. I would think the Noor character would, by now, be under strict surveillance and would not risk being seen with Night Agent personnel. And after Peter disposed of two Iranian Embassy security guards, wouldn't all lights be flashing and a phalanx of embassy security out looking for him ?

Moot points actually..it's a superb entry !
