(Contains spoiler of first episode.!!)
Toby Jones!! Excellent mystery era! Nice looking women! Spies and bowler hats!
Sounds great huh? Well not for the first episode.
So you're introduced to the life of a man who is a spy. His wife, her mother. an autistic young man. and the spy's contact. You're told that he is being basically blackmailed by his boss to not just be a spy that delivers info, but to cause commotion by planting a bomb in a public place. If he does not, he will be a target for anyone who would want the spies gone. By the will of his boss, publicly showing that He is on Their payroll...
That's it. That's about the extent of interesting things. after this moment there is a odd mix of unexplained emotional outbursts, dull conversations, bickering between contacts, weird random naked photography in the shop, the mother moves out and the autistic boy is basically the only logical person in it.
I had to drink two cups of coffee and entertain myself on my phone just to even hear this episode out.
It's easy to point the finger and say its simply beyond me, its too deep or something. But the thing is, these kind of movies (preferrably far from the spoon-feeding American touch) is my kind of thing. But this here....? Verly poorly constructed. Its like it copied famous series and scenes, but didn't quite understand and grasp the reasoning behind their successes.
