This show is the most realistic picture of an intelligence agency I've ever seen ! The way people talk is subtly polished, in terms of both languages spoken and accents used. The style is very sober, fascinating, impressive and largely differs from Legends, I am hopping up and down with impatience waiting for the next season !
Horrific tradecraft; perhaps, inevitable if you don’t have le Carré in your canon.
Just finished watching Season 1. This is one spy-thriller that does not focus on action and focuses on drama instead. And as much as I thought I would hate it, I did end up loving it. It does get a bit slow. But some brilliant performances, and a nice dose of character study and character dynamics make this show special. Mathieu Kassovitz as special agent Malotru impresses, with his controlled expressions, and the feeling that he is just on the tip before boiling over. It is only in brief moments of self-reflection when the audience gets to see the perfect spy who committed the one grave mistake of falling in love. Loved it!
Season 1 through 3 is a solid spy drama using current events as background story, and that makes it very enjoyable. The 4th season is dragging on with the main character, and to be perfectly honest other character in the show could have been developed a lot more and brough firmly in the foreground. That is not the case and this could easily be called the unbelievable adventure of rogue agent Malotru.
