Gray

I wish American TV shows would stop with cliffhangers or sorts. Like just wrap up a series and then make a better reason if you get renewed. It's easy. Just follow the Scandinavian method of TV.

Great show. Which annoyed me by it's ending so I knocked off a star.

Because I have to write more in order to qualify I will say this. Patricia Clarkson is weirdly transcendent and you can't take your eyes off her. Rupert Everett freaked me out that he could possibly actually be like that, but I felt some of the other characters were sadly not delved into enough. Actually we don't get much back story which I think is another fault. Maybe I should take another star off. I'll think on that.

So ....... Wasn't sure about this series, heard a fe mixed reviews and then decided to watch it for myself. I watched the first episode ....it finished and I found myself needing to watch another one straight away. So binge watched the whole season and got to say personally I loved it. I really Hope there will be a second season as still some things left unanswered at the end of this first one. Love the character of gray . I like Rupert Everett, not really seen him anything of recent. Took a while to warm to him at first but like figuring his character, is he good or bad?? Hoping for season 2.

This has good potential and a good premise with a spy coming back from self imposed exile to find a mole but then it goes downhill fast.

The flawed characters all lie constantly and undermine each other. They are also just plain weird but I did love Tag's house and guest house.

It is hard to identify with Cornelia because we never see who she really is and she is just weird. The way she constantly touches people is just strange and the aging femme fatale angle is creepy.

If you like answers... Don't bother watching because the answers are not there. It isn't even a cliffhanger. Just dragging things out.

Season one started slow, none of the agents working with her showed a normal level of skill that usually these agents have in films. Gray was the one that had it. Sara is given an attention that isn't required in a similar setting, she isn't brought-up to it naturally. The whole series lacks a motility, and the only one that makes it is Gray. Is it a great series, I don't know, cause all the other characters are acting like NPC's and some with a small character defined roles. When it comes to veterans playing the secret service game, I like the Red film series and the Slow Horses TV series. This one is not a contender in that segment. It's a series that hopes to be many things with a unique take, and only fairly justifies it's intention. It doesn't go above and beyond. I am not a fan of cliffhanger's but it seems like a second season is already being filmed.

I see that some are not impressed by the show. It seems that the main basis for that is that it's claimed to be dull, etc. The only way that's true is if one is looking for a James Bond style action show. It's not that. It's much more in the style of classic slow burner spy movies. Not that I thought it was slow burner-the tension was broadly kept bubbling along and not as predictable as one would expect. There was only one part of one episode where I wondered where the plot went, but it climbed out of that hole fairly quickly. I was originally watching this while working out, but the last few episodes I binged on the couch, bc I wanted to see what happened. It's a good spy show, it doesn't imagine a female spy is physically stronger than a man larger than her, it does image, though, that she's very silver and sneaky, so using her ostensible weaknesses as strengths, which I think came off well. The only issue I have is that I can't tell if the season ended or if my platform is missing a show, etc. I got to episode 8, and it did not feel like a season ending.
