Is it me or is this fucking ridiculous, no spoilers, I'm only in the first episode but did you persevere?

It's meant to be "light-hearted".
I've seen the 6. Not bad and great scenes of London.

Persevere.

I am thinking this after 1 episode too. But those who have watched to the end have all said it's worth sticking with 🤔

It's not meant to be realistic, if you go in with that mindset it's much more enjoyable.

Makelikeatreeandleaf · 13/12/2024 23:23

I'm on ep 3 and loving it!

CakeIsNotAvailable · 13/12/2024 23:24

Just finished episode 1. It's pretty silly, but it is entertaining! I'm planning to stick with it.

Penguinface · 13/12/2024 23:24

I'm enjoying it but despite never living in London, I'm laughing at the easy parking and empty streets.

FluffletheMeow · 13/12/2024 23:24

I watched the first episode because I like Keira Knightley, she's in lots of things I enjoy.
I thought the first episode was... fine. Silly, but it kept my attention. I haven't yet felt motivated to continue.
Following with interest.

Really enjoyed it. It's best enjoyed as a quirky British drama. Loved some of the characters.

TheGirlattheBack · 13/12/2024 23:25

First 4 episodes and the endless flashbacks and scene setting are tedious. The last 2 episodes are good and overall it’s worth persevering. I enjoyed it in the end.

Tulip32 · 13/12/2024 23:25

Watched episode 1 and am.inconvinced. However am going to persevere purely because Sarah Lancashire has one of the main roles.

JingleB · 13/12/2024 23:28

I’ve only seen two episodes but I think it’s funny.

OnLockdown · 13/12/2024 23:30

I watched it all. It's absolutely terrible. It really doesn't get any better.

okydokethen · 13/12/2024 23:30

I thought it was pretty dull although I liked KK more than I have ever before.

Stopsnowing · 13/12/2024 23:31

Started watching for the cast but it is dire

I don't think it's as funny as it thinks it is. It's OK, but it's just landfill Netflix hokum with a few big stars IMO.

I enjoyed it, but it felt like a poor man’s Slow Horses at times.

Williams is an absolute joy though, she’s the standout for me.

Pumpkincozynights · 13/12/2024 23:34

I’m over half way through.
There seams to be a growing trend for programmes with different time scales which is often difficult to keep up with. Blink and you can’t work out if it’s now or in the past. Otherwise I’m enjoying it.

boulevardofbrokendreamss · 13/12/2024 23:35

I'm going in for episode 2, may not stay awake...

I think it’s going for a very different - and more frivolous - feel.

I love Slow Horses and other than being set in contemporary London I don’t think they have much in common.

hby9628 · 13/12/2024 23:40

I just started it tonight. 2 down & am enjoying it.

lolit · 13/12/2024 23:44

All spy shows and movies are silly and unrealistic. Real spy work is incredibly boring.

Pippapotamus · 13/12/2024 23:45

I'm quite enjoying it, I've watched 2 episodes so far and although I'm wouldn't say it's hooked me to want to binge watch it, it has a decent enough plot and some subtle humour. We're also watching the Eddie Redmayne one-on prime maybe- now that one is daft and takes itself way to seriously

CalicoPusscat · 13/12/2024 23:48

That's a shame, I was planning to watch it as I had heard it's good.

There's only one way to find out if I like it!

StillweriseLH · 13/12/2024 23:50

We are watching it and loving it! It’s just fun. It’s not serious, it’s not a huge thriller, it’s just amusing and well shot.

thesilvermoon · 14/12/2024 00:20

I'm only up to episode three but I'm really distracted by the fact that Keira Knightly doesn't look like Keira Knightly.

That and all the leaving of fingerprints all over crime scenes, and no-one else ever parked on the street, and no-one noticing from a nearby flat, the sounds of fights or mutliple gunshots, some without silencers.
