Gray

Well, I hardly think you're able to call this a thriller, as surely that requires some thrills. This definitely has...none. It's bland and boring, and so incredibly slow. Glaciers move quicker than the plot pacing here!

I'm all for talkie dramas, but the dialogue needs to be able to stand up. This script falls down 90% off the time, leaving seasoned actors looking amateurish at best, incompetent at worst.

I'm not sure the dreadful mis-casting helped matters either. Patricia Clarkson (usually a favourite of mine) was as wooden as spoon, with about as much depth. But by far the strangest casting was Rupert Everetts'. I have to ask if his character was supposed to be comedic? Because, we'll...Honestly! I couldn't believe who I was watching, and how badly he was performing.

If it is renewed, I will not be tuning in.

Its just not believable this waspy grandmother is the CIAs only option to root out a mole, and the lack of action is needed as it would be doubly unbelievable if the main character could do anything if any action or violence arose. Clarkson's narrow range on full and tedious display - the troubled neurotic she seems to push in every role she plays is just not believable as a rare and insightful operative . Dialogue is dull, little tension, weak secondary acting with with minimal subplot and a tedious been there done that main plot. The 6/10 reviews it seems to be getting say it all - Ive taught screenwriting at college - this is hard to watch and I gave up eventually.

I wish American TV shows would stop with cliffhangers or sorts. Like just wrap up a series and then make a better reason if you get renewed. It's easy. Just follow the Scandinavian method of TV.

Great show. Which annoyed me by it's ending so I knocked off a star.

Because I have to write more in order to qualify I will say this. Patricia Clarkson is weirdly transcendent and you can't take your eyes off her. Rupert Everett freaked me out that he could possibly actually be like that, but I felt some of the other characters were sadly not delved into enough. Actually we don't get much back story which I think is another fault. Maybe I should take another star off. I'll think on that.

So ....... Wasn't sure about this series, heard a fe mixed reviews and then decided to watch it for myself. I watched the first episode ....it finished and I found myself needing to watch another one straight away. So binge watched the whole season and got to say personally I loved it. I really Hope there will be a second season as still some things left unanswered at the end of this first one. Love the character of gray . I like Rupert Everett, not really seen him anything of recent. Took a while to warm to him at first but like figuring his character, is he good or bad?? Hoping for season 2.

This has good potential and a good premise with a spy coming back from self imposed exile to find a mole but then it goes downhill fast.

The flawed characters all lie constantly and undermine each other. They are also just plain weird but I did love Tag's house and guest house.

It is hard to identify with Cornelia because we never see who she really is and she is just weird. The way she constantly touches people is just strange and the aging femme fatale angle is creepy.

If you like answers... Don't bother watching because the answers are not there. It isn't even a cliffhanger. Just dragging things out.
