Really quite riveted by this show and taken by the general accuracy and unsympathetic harshness of the MI6 characters. You expect the bad guys to be cruel but modern movies and TV always overemphasise the Goody Goody 'it's wrong to hurt people' thing, which is fine in normal life, but ridiculous in war. Which is what this level of living is about. The only thing I dislike is something that plagues many of these action shows, ridiculous ineptness on the part of people who should've had thorough military training. For example the main character and her team of two special forces guys sneaking up on a hard-core Irish paramilitary guy in a shack, out in the middle of nowhere, and they're talking to each other? They're shouting come out?
They are not expecting that the guy is going to have the place rigged with booby-traps? They take cover from a machine gun behind a wooden wall? All this stuff is typical of Hollywood sadly, people who have no real experience of this sort of stuff, directing and writing based on the cliches they've seen in many other similar shows. Sometimes it just beggars belief that they haven't got an expert who has done this sort of thing in real life on set or vetting the script.
Anyhow, I'm sitting here still watching it, it's very good generally.
By the way, why the heck would you have a wife and kid? Why would you let all these people into your life, and as somebody else said, why would you have all your gear in that actual house? Why would you not have that room rigged with explosives against anybody who tries to get in with brute force the way they did. Pretty damn ridiculous. You have your vicious career making hundreds of millions, then you retire somewhere after a face change and a fingerprint removal, and then, and only then, do you get a wife if you really have to have one. For what it's worth
