It’s quite intriguing, and right at the beginning the show has you asking questions, and there are many twists right up front. Charlie Cox is really good in this.
Now, if you are a person that just goes along with the show and doesn’t dig or question, it is not a bad show,
But if you are someone that questions actions within the show, you will be a little disappointed.
/The lead role has a position which is top ranking. The wife had a previous role in the military. Therefore it does not make sense that the wife is getting suspicious right at the beginning of the show, knowing that the husband cannot share details of his job now, or in the past as well.
/It then makes it hard to believe that she would question the work calls he has to leave the room to take, And she wouldn’t get suspicious about those calls at the very beginning of the show.
The wife also very quickly happens to meet an old military friend, and she immediately shares her suspicions about her husband.
/I doublt she would share information that she may or may not have been privy to from listening in on her newly promoted husbands calls with a colleague from the military, who just shows up out of the blue after many many years. It actually makes the wife look like a whiny unintelligent person, and hard to believe she had a role of an officer in the military.
I also think in his role in the real MI6, he would not have agreed to meet so often with a contact he had not spoken to in many years. Especially after the first information she gave him about why/how he really moved up the ranks in MI6 so quickly. He definitely would not have let himself be put in the position that his old contact put him in.
I am still going to continue to watch it though because it is interesting if you can get by those things I mentioned. As well for me I like the actor Charlie Cox, and this is the first thing I’ve seen him in in a couple of years.
