saw that this was a sensational hit in the UK so watched it over the weekend (only 6 episodes) and boy did I love this show. Started kind of slow but picked up and BOOM! interested if anyone has given this a try yet...
Have it on my list. Almost downloaded it a while ago then saw it was coming to Netflix. Just finished london spy which was good.
Fantastic show, a great pick for anyone who loves British TV and the counter-terrorism thriller genre.
Some minor quibbles but a decent series. Spoiler Budd evading all those officers and cameras after he defused the bomb-jacket? Yeah, right. Spoiler As if any major intelligence agency doesn't have an exhaustive database of all Muslim engineering students and recent grads. Can't believe real-life investigators from MI6, CIA, etc. wouldn't know that she had the technical knowledge to create the bomb.
Yes they would of had 500 officers surrounding that apartment building on all Angles and dogs as well. 2% chance he could of gotten away that easily, and 2% might be pushing it[/spoiler]
This show is different in that the entire premise and setting is extremely real-life and current. That was my only quibble, though. I hope they make more of it.
That was good. I think they went a little too hard at trying to keep making new twists but still really good. The vest scene was tense.
Spoiler: Spoiler im usually one to say that griping about little plot holes is missing the forest for the trees but then not connecting the army sniper to Budd right away was a bridge too far even for me.
Depends how many people and resources they had going into it. But yes I thought the same thing..... check a list it's not that hard and shouldn't take long either
