In general this was an enjoyable watch. However I did have some moments where I questioned the authenticity of what I was watching. No real spoiler here but when a character gets hit in the head with a cement anchor moving at a high rate of speed and not only survives but doesn't even have a bruise, it takes away from the overall story.

This show is a solid four stars. The reviewers who gave it any less are those who think everything needs to be perfect. I found the series enjoyable and well done. The acting as well, was very well done and the story moved at a good pace. I was entertained and that is what I expect from the shows that I watch.

For patient and sophisticated viewers who enjoy a lot of cleverness with their mystery and intrigue, "Black Bag" will prove to be an entertaining watch. The cast is generally pretty good, especially Michael Fassbender and Cate Blanchett, who are the two leads.

The ending lost me. Alicia's in the dome with a phone and never called anyone?

The ONLY knock I have against this film is, at the beginning, Maja spends an hour putting her hair in curlers, probably to get the viewer to appreciate the time setting (late 50's, early 60's) however, the next morning her hair is in a ponytail! However, this is the only 'flaw' I found in this movie. It is well acted and moves forward at a nice and tense pace. Loved Noomi Rapace!

Love it. Dark is indeed dark but filled with many complexities. The past, present and future all exist at the same time. Well done!
