Weak acting and limp script
juliankilmartin21 January 2023
Wow. What was Stephen Dillane doing in this turkey?

A leaden plot conflating election rigging(Trumpian), Scottish Independence and a ludicrously cast bunch of unconvincing actors( Kobna Holbrook -Smith is the standout miscast character.)

Dillane is always watchable and his daughter in the part as a passed over section head( by her father) is actually plausible as played by Lydia Leonard . However, her Danish nemesis as played by Victoria Sonne is abysmal.

Additionally all the cliches are rife. The Prime Ministers wife , fashionably part of a mixed race marriage is wise beyond words while the PM character is typecast as a Tory wet( maybe not unrealistic!)

The action scenes are equally implausible with the trope of 60kg women repetitively knocking out bodyguards/ Mi6 officers et al. When will script writers of a persuasion drop the pretence of trying to make something believable.

Definitely unwatchable.
