I guess Ciaran Hinds and Charlie Cox made friends on Kin 🙂

Lead actor not suited to the part,big gaps in the storyline/shortcuts,if done properly it should have an episode longer, around the end of episode 2 considered stopping watching, not the worst but overall a bit meh,it wouldn't have been difficult to do it better.

Totally agree with that summary

Watched the first two episodes tonight. Tis some ball of shite.

Every two minutes I'm asking myself "where's the security detail that's supposed to be watching him"

trashcan

I lasted about 15-20 minutes of the first episode. Maybe I just wasn’t in the mood, but I just couldn’t buy the main guy as head (or even deputy head) of M1 6.

I checked out a few minutes into the 2nd episode.

Kid slips a professional level protection detail, by going out the back door. Kid is immediately kidnapped

Head of MI5 can wander around and call people, alone, with no one knowing.

Wife is, like totally, shocked that her old CIA buddy just happens to reappear. Nothing to do with her husband becomming head of MI5 at all

Wife takes CIA spy device to, literally, spy on her head of MI5 husband.

Wife, actually, spies on her husband.

CIA spy device, which is good for normal conversations within a few meters, hears his voice from across the garden at elevation. Device also captures phone conversation perfectly...

Wife phones CIA friend and starts telling her all about it

I turned off at this point.

Sorry Charlie and Ciarán, wanted to like this but nope.

It started off okay but it really fell apart in later episodes. The "action" scenes were incredibly amateurish fare. I've seen more realism in Youtube videos.
