grantss A so-so series.Started very well. Engaging and highly intriguing. Melissa George worked well in the lead role and the supporting cast were good too.However, the novelty wore off quite quickly.Soon became intrigue and twists for intrigue- and twists-sake. The plot seemed to resemble other espionage series, eg Alias. Plus, too much random killing - not that I have an issue with graphic violence in TV/movies but here it just seemed gratuitous. The final few episodes made it worth while, to an extent, in the end, as everything came together. Was a bit of a slog in the middle though.

primacag-219-477782 Not perfect. Certainly a British point of view on spy thrillers, which are normally more thoughtful, better written, and better acted than US drivel, such as the current version of Nikita or 24.The characters were human and entertaining as individuals. They developed as individuals. The plot is a little convoluted but eventually you figure it out. There are no 180 degree twists to keep the plot going, just the gradual discovery of new information.The acting was British but not to over the top. There were a few too many altercations that didn't result in damage whose effects disappeared too fast. They spent a lot of time setting up the next series, so it would be a shame not to see some of it at least.

Hot Potato Very little really happens in the first episode. I will have to see what develops, if I watch any more of it. They worked very hard at setting up elaborate plot twists and lines in the first episode, that will play out later, or so the creator says. But he forgot he is trying to snare his audience now, the complexities of The X-Files took a long time to build. He should have taken note and spent more time on introducing characters, situations and developing "our" intrigue, which all gets extremely muddy, as they proceeded to introduce next years 15th subplot. Who cares if it plays out later, I may never get there.Melissa George at first appears a little droll but starts to develop interest, but there special effects people need help, especially as she looks like she couldn't fight her way out of a paper bag.Then again, who were all those people?, it was difficult trying to keep them straight, why bother as there was little purpose, at least in this episode. I think this genre is a little too competitive for this try at a new series, I suggest Cinemax reconsider why the BBC dropped it.

stehartley terrible terrible show. cast is just so unbelievable and plot lines paper thin. cant see this show lasting longer than 1 season. sad to say there seems to be a trend of poor programs at the minute. show has so much potential as well. definitely needs a revamp before its to late. its just a terrible cast and just doesn't cut it as a bad take no grief agent. good looks don't make up for bad casting. sometimes wonder if television companies turn out poor shows like this just make good ones look even better. bring back alias. nailed every show for last 10 years and this i'm sad to say just doesn't have what it takes. more believable and you could have a winner but really needs a lot of work to be done
