Finally a military show where women are the bad asses! Zoe Saldana is great as the head of an elite CIA group. Not the best casting for the men characters. They're all fat and don't look like they could run a mile without a coronary. The women, on the other hand are smart, attractive and actually look like they could survive infiltrating cartels or terrorist groups without getting killed. Nice to see lesbian characters. The one romance between Cruz and Aaliyah was heartbreaking, but maybe they'll unite again, who knows.

Nicole Kidman delivers a solid, cold performance. Michael Kelly is his usual nasty self. You either love him or hate him. And of course, Morgan Freeman, with that calm voice makes everything seem OK.

On the whole, a really fun, addictive show. Only weak spot is the way the Zoe Saldana character is constantly obsessing over having to leave her family and what that's doing to them and her. Her husband, the doctor never has a problem going to work and leaving the kids. Why is it always the woman with the mental burden?

I originally watched Dr Foster when it originally aired and was sucked in from the first few minutes. I had never heard of Suranne Jones but was really blown away with her performance. I've watched everything she's done since. I decided to re-watch this. It's still as good as it was originally. Some shows don't hold up very well, over the years but this one certainly does. I know some reviewers hate the second season, but I saw nothing wrong with the story. I even think, that if the actors wanted to, they could do a third season right now. I'd love to know if Tom ever comes home. We know Gemma will never leave her house. Will Simon get a new job and build himself up again? There's a lot of story yet to be told.

Back to Suranne Jones.....there are two defining moments in her professional life......Dr Foster and Gentleman Jack's Anne Lister. If she decided to retire now, she could walk away knowing that those two characters she created were phenomenal. And, to break it down further...she left two iconic scenes for us to remember.....the dinner scene in Dr Foster and the "I rise above it" bedroom scene in Gentleman Jack. These two scenes are forever burned in my brain.

One last thought....who cheats on Suranne Jones?? WHO?? Simon got everything he deserved!

Nothing I like better than an older woman who loves wine, talks dirty and has sex! I'm so tired of the old woman being the secondary character or grandma. Jane Seymore is having fun in this role and you can tell. She and the young actor who plays Fergus have a great rapport. Actually, this is a very strong cast. I found this show by accident and I'm glad I did!

I'm not an amateur reviewer like some of the pretentious posters on here. I'm just going to use up my required 600 words by saying it's a good show, I love Jane Seymore and have loved her since Dr. Quinn. So glad to see her again. And, how has she not aged!!? She's as beautiful as ever?
