About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a talky, cynical spy story about lies spiraling into bigger consequences, closer to The Russia House than an action thriller; Not for you if you need nonstop chases or clear-cut heroes.
Pros: clever spy satire; twisty intrigue; lush Panama setting | Cons: uneven tone; slow build; limited action
