Review of Deep State

Deep State (2018–2019)
4/10
Decent but ruined by a lot of unbelievable events
16 April 2018
Warning: Spoilers
The show is decent but not a believable spy thriller. There are some events that ruin it

1.) A low-level British intelligence officer orders the murder of a French woman and her two small children. If such an action occurred and later became to light, it would cause a political crisis of extreme proportions. Why go to such extremes risks when you could have ordered your agents to sneak into the house and steal the USB drive.

2.) The operation in Iran is clearly an American operation, why is it a British assassination team in Iran. This is not very believable. If the team had been caught in Iran, conducting what are 'Acts-of-War', that is probably just what the British government would get is a war with Iran. It might be believable that the British might lend some support to an American team operating in Iran.

3.) Why is killing people the solution to every problem in the show? I suspect that orders to kill people are taken at a very high level in intelligence organizations with consultations with the political establishments. Killing foreign nationals in their home country is certainly one of the last options used. The risks are just too great.

4.) One of the British agents, Harry, would stick out like a sore thumb. White as can be and clean shaven. I doubt that he could move freely around in Iran (he drinks coffee at the local coffee shop while hiding in a safe-house.

The show could be decent if they would use more brain-power and fewer bullets.
