Pretty Stupid
Hitchcoc30 September 2023
With everything coming to a head and based entirely on the funds in the Swiss bank, how could they screw up the time. It creates unnecessary danger for everyone, and death. I will see this whole season through, but the variables are so many and the characters so untrustworthy that it's more of a comedy than anything. Owen is bounced around, disrespected, expected to do things that should be way beyond his abilities while the rest lie in the weeds and threaten him. I guess there will be a second season, but some real tuneups need to be made to make the things viable. She better be worth it! There's a lot of collateral damage.

Too big a plot hole

Warning: Spoilers
I have been enjoying this, but seriously...messing up the time on the account access is really really stupid. That would have been confirmed many times before the op, not just by Owen, but by his operational superiors. This is the kind of thing he would be fired or demoted for almost instantly as it is a crucial step in a complicated op involving many other agents. It is literally unforgivable to make a stupid mistake like that. There have been a few plot stretches but this one breaks the story. Otherwise, the show has been good and fun to watch but something like this is a McGuffin that kills the credibility of the story. They could have found a better plot point to advance the story. Someone was very lazy here.
