This is one of those shows that make me think there are many fake reviews on here. This show is definitely not 10, or even a 9, or 8. I watched it because of Reese Witherspoon, Cheryl Strayed, and I like the lead actress. However, the main character is just such an unlikeable head case. She is miserable, has a chip on her shoulder, and blames everyone but herself for her problems. I felt sorry for her daughter having such an embarrassing train wreck of a mother. She was a jerk to her best friend and cheated on her husband. It just wasn't believable that her hot husband wouldn't have divorced her much, much sooner.

This series is neither suspenseful nor a thriller. It seemed like it had potential In the beginning, so I was dubious of the terrible reviews. However this quickly devolved to being the bland and forgettable tripe that seems to have infected all streaming services. This is a very condensed series. It's like they threw every spy thriller cliche and plot twist into a few shows at the expense of character development and pacing, and removed any common sense or logic. The only thing that sets this apart from all the other forgettable shows of this genre is that there aren't nonstop car chases or gunfights. Big snore.

I loved seasons 1 and 2. Walid was a great and memorable villain. When season 4 was about to be released I went back and watched all the seasons again. Doron becomes more irritating each season. He doesn't follow orders and ends up getting people hurt or killed. Plus, the villains after Walid are not memorable or are sort of sympathetic characters radicalized by Doron. The gullible boxer, or his newly-released from prison father. Doron is a bull in a China shop and a pouty, self-absorbed man-child prone to tantrums. Please just fire this guy already! The women always fall for him for some inexplicable reason and his kisses are stomach churning as they sound like he is slurping soup. Season 4 was still entertaining, but the plot holes are more glaring (the convoluted plan involving tricking the police officer into going to Syria) and it is difficult to root for Doron as the seasons go on. I dropped my rating from 8 to 7 after watching Season 4 because the show and Doron went downhill.
