tlwhitecdn This series could have been so good but like just about everything I watch now has porn like sex? Why? Can writers not write anymore without nudity and pure sex , who wants to watch that. I don't know straight or homosexual sexual on all tv shows it Nauseating. I would just like to watch a good movie or show series without that in it why not the morning after looking at things people do have imagination still please give us a chance to use them. The storyline of this is very good the homosexual Sex I could very much do without.

Tomus7 Lots of style, little substance. They became so focused on camera angles they forgot about pace. It was tolerable in the first episode where it contributed to the love story, but after that it became annoying.

qui_j This is not a great series. It starts off with silly dialog, of which there's not a great deal, and continues to jump all over the place. Scenes seem to have no continuity, and the viewers suddenly find themselves moving from Point A to C, with no B in between. Things happen in the story without any real explanation of why they occur. You get that the guy is a spy, and therefore hiding secrets but what you don't get is a complete unfolding of the story in a logical manner with any continuity. The scenes just seem to be stuck together randomly, the dialog is all too pretentious, delivered in short bursts, interspersed with long periods of silence with a lot of staring between the characters. The cinematography seems to be shared with other European films, and there are many close-ups of mouths, ears, necks, eyes etc. The pace is so slow and boring in parts that it will put you to sleep. If one had to type the series, it would be characterized as a gay love story, and less about spying.

gcarpiceci-73268 As an old and picky consumer of espionage stories, I was attracted to this series by its title, besides the excellent reviews. After finding myself wasting 5 hours of my life, let me just cry: "don't you dare call this a spy story!" For the review of such bummer, I propose the technique of the "onion peeling", i.e. you remove layer after layer and see what is left at the core. Well, the first layer is the photography, the visuals, the imagery: very sleek indeed; next layer, soundtrack: very cool; then the layer of acting performances: pretty good, as the strong cast was promising. So we have removed all the layers supposed to wrap the core, i.e. the story, the plot, the idea.....ooops, there's nothing less....or, the little that is there is so implausible, so absurd that you would prefer the total absence. So in summary, a lot of window dressing, not much more....
