It's almost 3 hours. At the end I wanted to watch it again straight away. The colour palettes of the countries change in lighting and clothes. A changing background for the different styles of fight scenes build up the stakes that build in complexity and intensity. Until by the time we're in France the only thing left to do is blow the lid of the action movie genre, level it up two levels and say thank you to those whose shoulders you're standing on. This just underlines how good ballet gets. The elegant poetry of each scene underlines the focus committment and insane ambition of the production team balanced by spot on character acting who all chew through the scenery and make you love/hate them in a matter of minutes. Scoring it 5 out of 5 is a disservice. I want the address of that club in Berlin!

Solid 4 by season end. Easy to watch. Feels better than the av scores given. Writing improves as season goes on. Interesting characters and some laugh out loud moments... But you do have to believe the moon is made of cheese occasionally. 30 mins of light entertainment parody heavy on the personal aspiration, victims of circumstances and where fashionable long story arcs are kept to a minimum.
