Google reviews are untrustworthy this is not a 4 out 5 show. Its probably just because its a majority female cast that resulted in the reviews being tweaked in some way. *some spoilers ahead*
The first 2 episodes were actually fairly decent. Some interesting characters, settings and emerging storylines. However it jumps about too much and i feel like they are trying to fit too many different characters and storylines into 45 min episodes. It would probably have been better just to focus on one or two characters per week.
I wouldn't say the show is woke but it has got that forced diversity by committee feel to it. The girl who plays the journalist for instance is just bland and boring. The male characters do all seem set up to play 2nd fiddle to the women and do lose their fights against women. The korean female assasin seems to be a legit martial artist so credit to her but when are these tv networks going to realise that nobody is buying 90lb girls beating up 200lb + men. Especially taking on more than one at a time. Its just not going to happen. It works in a Kill Bill type movie but not in a setting where its supposed to be a realistic world as it then just comes across as absurd.
I really wanted to like this show and there was a couple of characters and their stories i liked such as the former oil rig worker guy and the korean girl but they are not enough to keep me interested. I got to ep4 and decided i had seen enough. I've no issue with their being female assasins as it makes perfect sense that Treadstone would recruit both men and women but the writing, casting and dialogue just feels like this is the Bourne Identity for girls.
