I thought I posted this trailer but no…
I’m halfway thru the 6 eps of season 1 (each about an hour). It’s alright. Keira is a politician’s wife, mother of twins, and a spy. Ben (Q) is a gay former spy colleague turned hitman. I was excited to see Andrew Koji from Warrior & Bullet Train again but he gets killed in he very first scene (his role continues in flashbacks).
There’s a cold blooded undertone and a few nice spins on the spy game, all highly improbable as spy stories can be. The show seems fascinated with spattering blood on the killer’s faces, especially Keira, who still looks young in her 40s except for some fine distinguished lines that are hardly wrinkles at all. Those cheekbones and her fine nose are still gorgeous. There’s some good British gallows humor, some shootouts and hand2hand fights, plus character back story - e3 is almost all flashback, the creation stories behind Keira (Helen) & Ben (Sam) - how they got started in the spy biz and became who they are now.
I’m down for the rest. It’s not super stellar but still enjoyable. Potter factor 1 - Arabella Figg
