Gray

Well, I hardly think you're able to call this a thriller, as surely that requires some thrills. This definitely has...none. It's bland and boring, and so incredibly slow. Glaciers move quicker than the plot pacing here!

I'm all for talkie dramas, but the dialogue needs to be able to stand up. This script falls down 90% off the time, leaving seasoned actors looking amateurish at best, incompetent at worst.

I'm not sure the dreadful mis-casting helped matters either. Patricia Clarkson (usually a favourite of mine) was as wooden as spoon, with about as much depth. But by far the strangest casting was Rupert Everetts'. I have to ask if his character was supposed to be comedic? Because, we'll...Honestly! I couldn't believe who I was watching, and how badly he was performing.

If it is renewed, I will not be tuning in.

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.

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.

Such potential, a great story premise, a bit of inspiration from Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. But the acting stinks, along with costumes (spot the terrible wig), crappy accent from Rupert and a miserly budget. I don't think the actors can be blamed because there's some quality in here, except for the Derek Zoolander wannabe, he is just terrible.

The casting of Rupert Everett is weird. He's better than this but seems horribly miscast in this case, straining his voice to hide a terrible American accent.

It's got a 4 for the story but everything else drags it down. I'll still watch it but it could've been so much better.

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.
