Best new show around, After a disappointing 4th season of Jack Ryan, and all around lackluster shows everywhere, this felt so much better in every way. Looks truly well done and action/fight scenes look awesome. Great acting by all. I feel most of the criticism of this show in the comment section seems to boil down to how unrealistic it is because of the whole Female operator thing, and me for one, a guy, don't mind a good female led action show that is an original IP that doesn't go and turn a male lead into a female lead. Also i haven't seen any red flags so far like making every man look incompetent or anything like that. Also at first i thought it was gonna be a more action-first no-nonsense show but then they kinda dove a bit into the family and i usually cringe at that, but i didn't dislike what they did there.
My only criticism is that the plot of what this specific operator group does is very story limiting, and might kill it moving past a season's plot/villain...needs to be more encompassing so they could possibly do a new more action intensive fast-paced Homeland, otherwise it risks becoming too episodic like a Blacklist
PS: So far Nicole Kidman's part is incredibly small and uneventful and could have been done by anyone else...We'll see what the great Morgan Freeman brings to the show...But from what i've seen so far the show could stand on its own with Zaldana without any other A-Lister.
TLDR Overall Cautiously optimistic but i like what i see so far, everything is incredibly polished and well done. Its entertaining even without being the History Channel show that some commenters seem to prefer.
