Absolutely ridiculous interactions between Mason King and Nadia Singh so far.

Stanley Tucci is the reason I started watching.

High production values. No expense spared. I'm reserving judgement on Richard Madden's performance, as I'm only on episode 4.

Priyanka Chopra Jonas is great, she has very physically demanding scenes and allows herself to look the part when she's been through it. This is bound to see her cast in many more film and TV projects.

Action scenes are good.

Maybe the plot and script could be better. It's reminiscent of James Bond in terms of lots of locations, glamorous actors, gadgets, dastardly plans for world domination, and OTT villains. Lesley Manville is cast as an icy British villain, which is interesting.

It's entertaining but cliched.

I'm not sure how I missed this film when released. Just watched on Prime. If you have time and space to watch, it's well worth it.

Thomas Horn, the lead character, is tremendous.

Shot in NYC, everything about this film is top quality.

Hanks and Bullock are great.

Thought-provoking and a beautiful, understated tribute to the victims and grieving families of 9-11. Uplifting, heart-breaking and fabulous.

Like some of the reviewers, I found the first episode cringe-worthy. There were many clangers. It's hard to be objective when watching locally produced TV. Lots of cliches.

However, three episodes in and it's trying to find it's groove.

As Northern Irish, I am happy to see a BBC drama based here and not about orange and green. I think the acting is mostly good. Donaghadee looks great.

I'd add that the show needs to decide what it is. At the moment it's skimming over gritty issues like people trafficking, while creating silly humour between the older characters and a portrayal of a naive constable. Maybe it's identity will evolve over the remaining episodes.

Overall, let's give it some encouragement. Shouldn't we nurture local talent and programmes about our country?
