This show has a number of well-known actors. Regardless it is really more entertainment than reality. The show starts out slow but builds up. The issue is that like many other shows while it is suspenseful, you cannot allow yourself to think too deeply. There are a lot of ridiculous and plain stupid activities an alleged spy would not do. And it is obvious. I mean, if you are a spy trying to leave someplace, why would you answer your phone and have a conversation with those who are trying to prevent you from doing so. Then why would you simply get in a cab after someone grabs you bag and says come with me? Dumb! As noted it is more for entertainment. Yes, there is a lot of drama, obligatory sex scenes, suspense, etc. But it is just not that good. If you have nothing else to watch and bought into the advertising noting this was some show people love and blah blah blah, try it. But as stated, don't think too hard.
If ever there was a clone of a show, this is it. This is basically Yellowstone in Australia. It is watchable, and the acting good, but wow, every has a problem and there does not appear to be a good guy. In Yellowstone you either like or hate the main character. Here, there is no way to like someone who is abusive and basically a selfish jerk. But that is my opinion. There are some twists in the plot that will keep you interested, and it is something that will hold your interest, but it does not have the quality of Yellowstone and in some places falls flat. At the end, it leaves it open for a second season but so many of the characters you liked in the show were killed off, so why would I want to watch a season two since the remaining characters are not ones that are interesting.
It is worth a look.
