About
If you want a fast, suspenseful spy series with shifting loyalties and constant pressure, this fits, especially if you like Luther-style intensity; Not for you if you need strict realism, low violence, or consistently even later seasons.
Pros: tense spy missions; strong ensemble drama; unpredictable stakes | Cons: later seasons uneven; some far-fetched plots; occasional soapiness
