The Copenhagen Test

The concept of the show seems simple enough. A government agent gets his eyes and ears hacked but the show throws many twist and turns that do keep you entertained and wanting to find out what happens next since each episode almost end on a cliff-hanger each time.

The show does lose two stars for me because it starts off very plot heavy when this show best aspect isn't it's plot but more so the characters . However once this shift happens mid-season its takes you on a twisty ride that does keep you coming back for more to just finish the show.

Performance wise: Simu leads very well with a leading character you do grow to root for as he is just trying to prove himself and Simu handles the action scenes as well as you'll expect a marvel star too.

Melissa Barrera does extremely well with a mysterious and layered character that at times made you want more of story as the character is truly a classical spy mystery woman.

Stand out for me was Sinclair Daniel who I never seen before but playing a role that on paper seems thin, she brought it to life with such care and passion that you wouldn't expect from an analyst .

Overall I think this is a fun action series to watch and binge. It's very different from other things we have on right now and it will make you think .

8/10.

The show has a genuinely intriguing setup and enough mystery to make you interested but it quickly becomes clear that it's anchored to a lead actor who seems actively allergic to screen presence.

Scenes that should crackle instead drift by, drained of tension by a performance so flat it could be used as background furniture.

Supporting characters strain to inject energy, but when your protagonist delivers every line like he's reading bus timetables aloud, it's hard to care what happens next. A shame - because with a different lead, this could have been something really good, maybe even special.

At first I saw the low to mediocre reviews, but decided to give it a try for myself. I found it entertaining, captivating, and found myself going back for more. I like the lead in Shang Chi so that helped. Watch the first episode or two and you'll know if it's for you. Form your own opinion, everyone says something different.

We watched the whole season in one day because every episode pulled us deeper into the mystery. Great atmosphere, strong characters, and a story with plenty of room to grow.

There is more story to tell, and I truly hope Peacock gives this series the chance to continue. There's so much potential for a Season 2.

My wife and I binged-watched the show in a single day. It's an exceptional show with a captivating storyline and an outstanding cast. It's one of the best shows of 2025. Simu Liu's performance was remarkable, breaking away from the typical Hollywood tough guy stereotype. Cannot wait for the second season!
