Patrick Harbour

It’s an accidental comedy. A mix between Jason Bourne and the cliche’s of Team America. The night agent Peter, manning the phones at night. So serious is his job that he almost hangs up on a women who is about to be murdered if she didn’t have the right code words. Fast forward he is chatting to her throughout the night on the same phone with his feet on the table. He won’t listen to anyone but his gut. Rose the women who he is sworn to protect. Just a regular CEO of a tech company at 30 fallen on hard times. She’s witty, she’s sassy and ready to use her tech skills to be the dynamic duo to take down this plot that goes all the way to the White House. A couple of assassins. One stoic and calm all business. The other an unhinged psychopath who watched a few episodes of Bellatrix from Harry Patter for acting classes. At one point they are contemplating a family but decide the life style of an assassin just isn’t conducive for it. Arrington is a young cop. On a protective details of the Vice Presidents daughter. She’s a no nonsense no excuses kind of lady. Hard on herself and others cause she expects the best. Especially hard on her new colleague who took a bullet for the president. Then had a drug addiction he overcame post the injury. She isn’t happy about this. Doesn’t trust him cause his reflexes were too slow in a bar fight. Don’t worry that he is a hero and literally more senior than her and personal friends with her boss. For some reason he respects her even though she is trying to ruin his career. Maybe cause she is just so dedicated to her job. Chief of Staff Far. A white wig and a restrictive emotional range. Is she good is she bad? You’ll never know until the end. She gives nothing away in acting or dialogue. I had a lot of laugh out loud moments in this. With some cliche so hard it made me cringe. If you love America and the FBI officer who can do it all and dam the rules! This is the series for you. It’s predictable but it’s bingeable. Easy watch, just don’t count on using all of your brain cells.

That was hard to watch. Review on episodes 1 - 3 A truely watered down version of what had the potential to have been an extraordinary series. Issues: Leia need some acting classes, character development and track and field experience. She is running away from bad guys and escaping Obi Wans grip with the waddle of a toddler. It’s completely unbelievable and even cut scenes to the villains conveniently getting hit by low hanging branches isn’t enough to make one actually think this 10 year old could out pace a Jedi or fully grown villain. Her acting is that of a 9 year old. Perfect for a supermarket commercial but not for the to be leader of the resistance. I think casting and older child and making them look younger would have been a better idea. The development of the character is all over the shop. From insensible child who won’t listen to anyone to creating back stories better than Obi Wan who literally has mind control powers. Reva makes me look away every time I see her sullen face. Looking grumpy doesn’t make you a formidable foe. Who is she? Why is she so set against Obi Wan? Why is she so mad? Why can’t we use someone from the actual canon? It’s like Disney just wanted to create some diversity in the show which I am for! But why cast someone who is so obviously un-intimidating and looking petulant rather than as a serious deep character and worthy nemesis. Obi Wan plot line is being destroyed. I feel like the people who write these films don’t even like Star Wars. Instead of Obi Wan training and preparing himself to mentor Luke he is destitute and stealing bits of meat. Then cowering from fights and running away. This isn’t the Obi Wan from canon who is one of the greatest Jedi who ever lived. He is calling Leia by her name in front of Storm Troopers (who can’t recognise him in his Jedi robes travelling with a princess and calling her Leia). As well as having one of the worst show downs I’ve seen with Darth Vader. None of it makes sense and it leaves me bewildered. I don’t know what these people who are giving 5 star reviews are watching. To be fair I think they are probably bots from Disney. A strong 1 star from myself.
