The story is nothing new if you've seen 24 and Homeland. It is fast paced and intelligent enough. Acting is good overall but Richard Madden's performance is overrated. In first to fourth episode, he couldn't get his internal turmoil across from his outward calmness. He gets much better in the last two episodes when his character starts to lose control.
The last plot twist of Nadia being the mastermind seems totally ridiculous. Victim or not, she is a suicide bomber with links to terrorist cells. How can she feed information to others without anyone knowing? Why wasn't her background vetted and no one know she is an engineer? It's beyond crazy that she could continue to make bombs without anyone the wiser.
