Refém

What to say about this, sounds good on paper but so poor in execution.

Many, many 'surely that's not the way that would be done' moments but the standout for me by far was the team of French Special Forces apparently being transported in an Apache AH64...clearly a 2 seater helicopter...which the French don't use. Just lazy production.

Could have been better, good idea of a storyline.

I definitely thought we were going to get you can't handle the truth, we live in a world that has walls & those walls have to be guarded by men with guns, you have just weakened a nation, sleep well.

Worth watching, but not something you would watch twice!!

This show started out slow and just got worse with each episode. At first I just wanted to see where it was going. We gave up in the first 5 minutes of episode 3. Bad acting and writing. It was painful to watch. And please, to everyone involved in writing these shows, enough of the angst-ridden teenager nonsense. It's so unnatural to give the teens so much power (not to mention horrible ancting), and yet my husband and I are seeing more and more of it. It's an insult to any parent's intelligence.

Did I hate it? No. Would I watch it again? Also no. Nothing really wrong with the show, and it kept me interested enough to see it through. That said, when under review, it really falls apart in an amateurish way. Too many wild plot twists and gaps that felt rushed and uninspired. The ridiculous number of security breaches and oversights made British and French intelligence agencies look like Scooby-Doo. A few characters like the PM's daughter, were incessantly annoying and didn't add anything to the story. I didn't mind the political threads, but they felt tacked on and mostly ended up as red herrings with little connection to the antagonists' actual motives.

All that said, it still managed to entertain me. It's not a show anyone will be talking about for weeks to come, but it's worth a watch if you've got a free night to binge something.

UK Intelligence agencies, MI5 & MI6 are still one of the best in the world. Yet this series depicted that they were failures to protect their PM and her family. Had no clue what was happening on the streets of Loondon! Diplomatic relations between two rich and developed nations at the highest level looked like a family feud.

Poor plot, inadequate research and below par direction. Not worth the time.
