About
If you want a light, globe-trotting spy series with weekly missions, relationship drama, and a cast that grows on you, this fits; Not for you if you need strict realism or tight plotting like Crossing Lines.
Pros: fun, easy binge; likable supporting cast; intrigue and romance | Cons: cheesy early seasons; implausible spy moments; uneven writing and clichés
