Aside from some main characters never being explained (e.g. The two assassins on the plane), and the absolute implausible plotting of this story, no female is portrayed negatively, and no man positively. I doubt the reverse would be acceptable in any contemporary script. No one I know would have ever left themselves open to the kind of manipulation the male lead constantly succumbed to.
Having spent 22 years as a metropolitan police officer, I found it easy to see through character profiles in this over-ripe dramatization. Maybe I've become jaded by my life experience, but stories, i.e. Plots, should have a beginning, a middle, and an end. This production suffered on all three of those attempts. And I could not find one likable character in the cast. Even "Apocalypse Now" had more likable characters.
Frankly, not much about this series made logical sense.
