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.

This started very slow and I wasn't sure if Id stick with it. Danny meets Alex and they seems so awkward together. I don't agree that they have chemistry. I saw none. They seem like chalk and cheese and you don't root for them to get together. It picks up a bit in the second episode on wards. The acting is supreme and believable. Its a scary concept that 'someone' could set you up so much. Always a step ahead.I was disappointed with the end. It was the usual what happens next, driving off into the distance. Hate endings like that. What would they do? Would they survive!! If you like the spy genre, go for it. Its a short series and will have you hooked.
