Hard to set aside my high standards for this show when the movies were such high quality. It also doesn’t help that this tv show feels extra cheap. The action scenes that have potential to be very entertaining are either flashed through with slow motion cuts or a “lights out” fight where you can’t see a thing. The back stories are shallow and for some reason every other assassin is a psychotic drug addict with a gimmick like a crossbow or katanas and they all were costumes. This is NOT the John Wick world we know.

Intense, eye opening, riveting. My reaction to this limited series is similar to my reaction to John Grisham’s “Street Lawyer.” Both stories give a semi-raw look into the lives of people who are struggling. The John Grisham novel (also has a movie I haven’t seen) portrays the struggles of the homeless population. “Maid” gives a narrative of a single Mother struggling (something I cannot relate to at all) is also eye opening. Both of these stories make me look at people I see in passing very differently. Although I cannot initiate change for these people, I still feel sympathy for their situations. And that’s what life is, a series of situations that we navigate. When I put my own situations in perspective, sometimes they pale in comparison to the stories told in these works.

Poorly written, too predictable. Why would a “super deep-cover agent/agency” allow a civilian to stay with the deep cover agent because she “doesn’t want to be alone?” Not to mention this civilian developed a software that can find deep cover agents with one photo and is better than the government’s version? “I can’t be alone!” So we let the civilian stay with the operative who is undercover on a top secret mission just because they feel “safer” with the undercover dude as they infiltrate other countries and they happen to have feelings for each other? This is what I call a “throw-away show.” A show to watch as you are multitasking since you don’t need to pay too much attention and can miss a lot of context to still understand the story. It’s a show I have running in the background as I work since it requires little attention. Also; “you need me alive??” And the dude runs away after some time… hit him in the leg?? Disable his ability to run? Plot holes amass.

I can barely watch this movie. There is so much bad animation/CGI, the acting is very poor but mostly because of the fact that so much is CGI (it must be difficult to act in that environment). The writing is also generic and hard on the ears. Moves way too fast.
