It's a hard hitting, long form, fact & reality based, frank interview show. Only comparable to DW's "Conflict Zone" and Al Jazeera English's "Head-to-head" and "Upfront" It's a shame the BBC cancelled it.

The basis of the interviews is not about asking easy questions nor hearing the part of the argument you support.

It was hosted by one of the longest serving, most experienced international reporters and interviewers.

According to host Stephen Sackur: It had a reach of about 170 million people per week accounting for the three times a week it was broadcast on BBC World Service Radio and the global reach of what was formerly know as the World News Channel. However in the United Kingdom in recent years it was only broadcast between midnight and 4 am. This guaranteed a small audience but compared to other shows broadcast at the same time, it still had a higher audience.

I admire how the host(s) approaches each interview with facts not opinions. And counters each lie, misinformation or piece of disinformation while also letting the guests articulate their points and arguments.

I remember seeing season 1 and the actor that plays Peter Sutherland was not very convincing and his acting felt forced /not sufficiently developed.

However, in this season, it feels more natural, convincing, developed and at par with the rest of the characters.

I like the change in dynamic: in Season one, Peter was the one that came to Rose's aid, finding her and offering to protect her life with his own. In season two, Rose comes to the aid of Peter, finding him and offering her IT expertise.

In future seasons, I would appreciate seeing a storyline set without Rose, just Peter and other nightaction operatives. It would NOT make alot of sense to have her sticking around evert episode even if she's not a night agent /or 3 letter alphabet employee. Having to find excuses to keep her constantly in Peter's work life would get tired and repetitive. In my humble opinion, she can make comebacks once in a while.

I would also appreciate a little more gore/blood/camera visible violence /not cleverly hidding them in future episodes.

At times, some situations feel far fetched and unrealistic. Some aspects of the story don't mix well together.

I can barely wait for Season 3 and I desperately want to see how the characters mature.
