This kind of filled a hole left by the tv series 'Spooks' which I rather enjoyed.
A good, exciting and interesting show about the intelligence community would do so well, again.
But this isn't it.
Although I liked the plot and to see this side of the work being done, the show makes a few big mistakes.
There's too much attention for the private lives and relations of some of the agents, frankly I couldn't care less about that.
The country is under attack, people are dying, we must save the world... but first lets talk about our emotions for 20 minutes.
It's also not nice to see the main character turn out to be unfaithful, I know I'm old fashioned but it made me find it harder to be on her side.
But more importantly; it adds nothing.
The story has several plotholes and depicts the work at GCHQ wrongly but they can't be blamed for that.
A bigger mistake is the acting.
There are just a couple of actors in it that are not very good, I'm not going to name them because actors are humans too and they might be proud of their work and maybe their mums and dads read this, so I won't.
But most of the acting is pretty decent so when there are two or three who are really rather bad, it stands out, a lot.
Rather unfortunate.
I was hoping for a new Spooks, but in stead was given something barely average.
Still I hope we get our new TV series with Mr. Pegg (who is of course brilliant as always) running MI5 or 6.
Come on.
Spooks was a hit.
