Setting the finale on a good way
pauli_gomez8 December 2021
Warning: Spoilers
This was a very intense episode, that always keeps your interest. Still, it is not perfect because, again, it demands a suspension of disbelief that is too large. You have to believe that the villain decides not to kill them on sight (perhaps acceptable because he wanted to interrogate them), that he does not take their cellphones, even when they could contain a lot of information, that he has a Stormtrooper aim with his drone with a gun machine, that he did not sent anyone to catch them when they try to be back on London (even when using their own names and all that). And a few other minor things.

Also, this sentence is hilarious: "You are not K7, I've heard her call you Alex."? So, you are a video game mogul and you don't know the difference between a nick in the game and a real name? Do you think K7 is actually called K7?

Other than that, very interesting and setting a finale. I hope it is a good one, because the season deserves a good ending.

Well I liked it.

Yes, you have to suspend your disbelief, yes, this is a bit of a filler episode ahead of the finale, but I can point you in the direction of worse television shows currently airing than this, and it'd be a long list.

Just accept this on the grounds of entertainment and you'll enjoy it. It's not trying to be anything more than that after all.

For my money (and I did pay money to own this on DVD) this was good quality entertainment, and I have thoroughly enjoyed this second series on the whole, other than the sort of ploddy/filler feel of some of the early episodes.

So sit back and enjoy!

Absolutely ridiculous. By far the worst episode yet.
hayleyfairbairn10 December 2021
This is by far the worst episode yet. Not sure who wrote or approved the inclusion of a drone carrying a machine gun with no apparent recoil and an endless supply of ammo. The episode had so many errors in logic, physics, plot and so much more. I have no idea how this has a 9.1 rating. I'm not sure the people who rated it so highly really understand anything about story writing or basic logic. This episode almost made my family and I stop watching the show. Definitely not a 9.1 or even close to it. Probably a 3 or 4 but I had to vote as low as possible to offset some of the ridiculous 9 and 10s.

Worst episode so far.
scottsideasare10 December 2021
Honestly, this is the worst episode of the series. No amount of suspension of disbelief will get you through this one. I won't post a spoiler but there's a chase scene that is so stupid as to be funny , in a bad way.

It almost ruined the series.

Completely absurd

This show isn't lacking in terms of plot holes and lazy writing, but this episode is bringing it to a whole new level. All of season 2 is already a mess where characters lack of logic is served as an excuse to advance the plot, but this episode was by far the most incoherent. Also I'm convinced if drones worked like they did in that show that they have the be the most inefficient weapon of all time.

This season has been the worst ever thing ive ever seen. Alex all of a sudden a fearless John Rambo. I just cant make sense of anything this season. All the science in this season does not make any sense. Just watched it till the end cause i wanted to see what was going to happen.
