Look like an interesting idea...


But it also looks like an interesting idea that could turn out to be garbage.

I watched the first two episodes and got a bit caught up in it. It seemed kind of stupid at first, and Oldman's character is pretty disgusting. It's a bit boiler plate for British spy comedy-drama ... that is the hilarious insults passed between the characters as they get along with the drama and pretend to be serious. I restarted my AppleTV account ... $4.99 a month for this?

I hate it ... thought I could watch the whole series or most of it in one month but they are wise to that now and doling them out weekly, which I hate. I hope it turns out to be interesting as it looked.

What do think of it now that season one is over?

It's not bad. Definitely a different slant on the spy game. There were some problems with the storytelling. At one point there are these baddies who have blood on their faces so they don't want to get out of their van to pump gas. They couldn't like wash their faces? Or put a hood on? Or say they came from a slaughterhouse? Anything? There's also a bit of a problem with a cliched explanation, but don't want to spoil anything. But there are plenty of surprises, also a lot of humor.

The show continues to be good with season 4 as well. Good to hear they're already renewed for season 5.

Just started S04 today. Already almost halfway through it. Oh, and they greenlit two more seasons, so we should get at least six, and the books are still being written. :)
