The Copenhagen Test

Praising Simu Liu performance on this one, Melissa with smart modern tech twists and stylish but sometimes confusing especially the field duties done by the Orphanage...!!!

Cold War spy vibes of 70s but with modern AI themes (blown my mind), plot is somehow keeps unsettling questions about who owns reality..!

Spy fans will love this one.

The Compshagen Test, I am pleased to report, is a rather admirable piece of intellectual architecture-clean in its lines, confident in its purpose, and refreshingly unwilling to pander to the impatient or the inattentive. It possesses that rare quality of assuming its audience is capable of thought, and indeed deserving of it.

I gave it a nine, and did so without hesitation. The experience is brisk, lucid, and-most importantly-honest in its ambitions. One senses, behind its construction, a mind intent on clarity rather than spectacle, on substance rather than ornament. In an age increasingly besotted with the gaudy and the superficial, this alone is worthy of commendation.

If I withheld the final, perfect tenth point, it was only because the test, for all its virtues, left me wanting a touch more detail-an elaboration here, an explanatory flourish there. Not verbosity, mind you; merely the sort of additional refinement that transforms a very good instrument into a definitive one.

Still, the Compshagen Test stands as a commendable achievement, and I should think anyone submitting to it will come away with the agreeable sense that their time was not merely spent, but invested.

I agree almost 100% with reviewer Denios35 and almost didn't right a review because it would be a duplication of his evaluation - the beginning to the first episode was nonsense from a realistic stand point but essential to character understanding there after in the episode - which was over done by repeating the trauma far to many time ( at least 6 ) during the first episode . As for Casting - I disagree( with other reviewers ) that the lead is a problem - if you were looking for James Bond or Jackie Chan you will be disappointed but for the role he was ask to play - so far in episode one he is convincing - I would like to see Peacock succeed with another series to justify my subscription :)

THE absolute worst intro scene to a series so far.

Looks like they skimped out on hiring an expert to guide the field operation, because everything is wrong. Lingo, gear, standard operating procedure, it was a clown show.

Then the pilot slowly redeems itself into an interesting premise, and actually made me start the 2nd episode.

You only get one chance at a first impression, and this was bad, but the sum total might just sway to a net positive, hence a 6 our of 10.

Hopeful, but not yet convinced.

I like it, it seems slow but the buildup is great and I like the different twist as ALL the other series are just FBI, CIA bla bla...but this is another level.

And the acting is not amazing but also not bad at all.

Worth a watch I would say and also he is a good actor.

Can't wait to see what happens next.
