Deep State

If you like the thriller / spy / action genre i think you'll like this show.

Lots of characters to root for and lots to wish ill upon, international espionage, entangled allegiances and competing self interest.

Walter Goggins enters the scene as a primary character in Season 2 and gives a great performance.

Fans of Game of Thrones may recognize Gendry but Joe Dempsie (who plays Harry Clarke) shows he's got range. Karima McAdams plays another primary character from Season 1, Leyla Toumi, and her intensity echos in every scene she's in.

The rest of the supporting cast are thoroughly solid.

You can totally watch Season 2 even if you haven't seen Season 1.

I had originally given this series an "8", for the first few episodes, but I've just watched the rest of the season, and what a brainless mess!

Plot holes you could drive a Mack truck through everywhere, weak script, no suspense ie totally predictable/unbelievable, and a blatant, radical political ideology agenda message.

Why is it now that for US terrorism series now it's either their own government or the Brits that are the enemy, and for Brit series it's always their government or the US the enemy?! lol

PLEASE...please...no more! No season 2.... The entertainment world is polluted enough, without this garbage included...

The writers of their show must hate their wives. The wife (Lynne Renee) is ever so annoying, continually to get Max (Mark Strong) into deeper troubles. Would have been much more pleasant to watch with the wife's role reduced.

This is really great series to watch. It's actually scary how governments and business shady businesses are intertwined and can instigate wars. With this being a fiction, there is, I'm afraid a lot real elements in it. Entertaining and yet horrifying to watch.

Nothing special but has its moments and interesting enough to get into. Mark strong carried the first season and stood out. However the 2nd has a much better story. Mildly above average worth a watch if you get the chance.
