I'm no fan of Peacock, but this looks pretty good. It's a crime that Simu Liu doesn't get more roles.
Maybe he doesn't seek out gigs?
He may also be very selective...what he does is very good.
I'm cool with a person choosing quality over quantity.

Really wish our GM were that kind of dude a bit more.

Complete and total speculation, but ok.

Just finished episode three and am anxious for more. This is really, really good spy stuff. The premise is a bit off the charts, but the whole package is excellent, easily 4 out of 5 stars.

Peacock stuff plays dark on my Samsung screen. It seems to be a known problem with Peacock.

Cool. I'll have to check it out. I'm watching Kleo on Netflix now and loving it.

Finished this last night. WOW! I'm sure glad I paid attention to everything that was going on. A ton of moving parts that all came together pretty smoothly. Loved it!

I'm looking forward to seeing it. Not sure why, but I really like Simu Liu as an actor. He's got great charisma.

It took a bit, but I finally got into this show and it got better and better as it went. The first episode was frustrating and I definitely needed more in the second. And I got it :)

They beat the flashback to what turned out to be the Copenhagen Test to absolute death. They flogged that horse into dog meat. I was worried that would continue. A touch much on the flashbacks in general after that, but much better.

Can't really argue with anything you've said here. Adding to what you posted, this isn't a series you want to watch while you're doing a crossword. Paying attention to the details really matter on this one.

That's likely why I couldn't finish it...never had time to sit and watch without distractions and it just seemed dull...but the preview looks really interesting.
Gonna have to give it a day on my weekend
