Managed to make it through two episodes but only just. BORING! Nothing new here. Same familiar “haunted” cop trope, which wouldn’t be so bad if it wasn’t for the fact that it is wrapped in an unengaging drama. Cannot believe Amazon thought it was ok to unleash this rubbish on to the public. This series should come with a health warning - “likely to cause sleep and a strong desire to change the channel”

Trite and saccharine. A “Love Boat” for a modern and presumably, undiscerning audience. We can only hope there is an iceberg in this boat’s future!

Oh Dear! Matilda de Angelis bravely navigates a complex series of double crosses in an action packed series without much action, and in a story that will have you not giving a sh&t within 20mins (a feeling shared by the actors from what I could tell!) The original Citadel was a struggle to watch but the Russo brothers have learned nothing from that, and decided instead to double down on the same formula! Whoever is in charge of programming at Amazon should be really worried about their job. I can only imagine the amount of money that has been wasted on this drivel. However, it is at least consistent with Amazon’s general trend in producing expensive and unwatchable content.

Barely watchable - and I am being generous. The lead character, Zee is a hit woman who asks her boss, played by Sam Worthington with a dubious Irish accent, before each kill whether the victim “deserves this death” (yes. The writing is really that bad and silly). A better question is “does the audience deserve this movie?” No!!!! Dross like this should never see the light of day: bad wire work, wooden acting and a very silly story mark a further decline in John Woo’s career. More rubbish like this and he will have to rename himself John Woe.

This could potentially be mediocre but for the lack of one single ingredient…jokes! Those reviewers who have labelled the programme drivel are being unfair to drivel. Those who have described it as funny…just need serious therapy.

Despite having a hit movie to build on, after a promising start (ep1), this series quickly reveals itself to be glossy but boring. Gave up after episode 3. It takes real skill to take a proven premise and make it uninteresting and unwatchable so kudos to the writers and producers. Another miss from Amazon which needs to be careful. Amazon has raised subscription prices and is now adding adverts to its standard model with the justification that it wants to invest in new content. But if the best they can come up with is dross like this and Expats then they will struggle to sell this message to their consumers who will depart in droves.
