Like a lot of others, I thought I would give this daft-sounding series a go since it had garnered a few decent reviews, eg the Guardian. I like exciting, engaging and slightly but not too dumb action series to watch doing indoor biking. I found my heart rate dropping steadily at the inane direction, really poor action scenes, arch dialogue, and general sense of a silliness. So I opted out after two thirds of episode one in case I fell off of my bike in an attack of weary incomprehension at how and why this series got made. It is made worse by the fact that the actors are clearly doing their very best to animate the rubbish they have been served.
