When I started watching this Netflix series , I never knew I would binge watch and thats what happened. Series takes off from the word go! What starts off with a minor scuffle in a party which ends in an accident never seems to end with ever unwinding web of complex suspenseful details - unravelling one after another - that you cannot but wait to watch the next. Many " Edge of seat movements" is a special element in this series. Simple suggestion - complete all your work - switch off from any other stuff - Switch on this Series - and let 8 hours go un noticed.. Stunning & Amazing story , screen play , plot etc. Enjoyed every second of the series.

When I started the first episode - the initial attraction was about location along with the character introduction and the narration that moved from past to current with excellent ease leaving us to understand on our own and this episode ended with a good suspense which made me move to the second episode. Thus it started. I then binged to see the end. A great suspenseful story with equally great narration and screen play. All the characters played their part to the hilt. Its definitely a 9 in my reckoning.

After I saw the rating of 8.1 and various comments, thought that this movie would be extraordinarily good. Period. My own perception of the movie was it was like one of the "Old" James Bond movies and then and here and there it became like "Kill Bill" but since actions involved gadgets - it resembled spy kids too. It's an entertaining movie - definitely. Many of the actions were unbelievably over the top. Villainy was not exactly fearsome. Some of the actions were kiddies type and some were of Kill-Bill type. Last few scenes where they alter satellites were all of "Spy Kids" type and childish. Also the movie lacked depth in gadget showcasing. Controlling satellites and then showing percentage etc...were all like a TV discovery show. But do not get me wrong , the movie is largely entertaining...but the some versions of Spy Kids were also entertaining but kiddies' type. This is definitely not a "Kick Ass" type movie - which was a different class altogether. The similarity lies in "all crazy stuffs and actions happening.." That is all. But all these apart , "Colin Firth" was very good and even better than "Taron Egerton". In fact I felt , he is probably a better replacement to the old 007 legacy - "Roger Moore or Sean Connery "Can suggest watching once. You do not need any brain to watch this movie - just let it flow and relax.
