I’m liking this so far. I do have a soft spot for UK made security agency/counter-intelligence/high-level police procedural dramas though, they’re a bit more grounded for me.

Good locations.
Interesting plot.
Paced well enough.

I do have a few gripes though;
Charles Dance is underused.
The Jackal’s in-laws are too annoying - boring subplot.
The homo stuff was forced. Would rather the predictable affair with the middle-woman he’s been in contact with.


I’m on episode 7, I’ll catch up tomorrow.

I’ve spent like 97% of my watch time salivating at Lashana’s ass jiggle in business casual capri’s, then having to rewind to catch all the little plot details. I must say that I’ve robbed myself of a great experience. It really is a good show.
breh, she's mediiiii i hate that bytch. hope the killa -assassin-faq knocks that demon whore off. bytch got two innocent women killed. like buddy said before he slit his own throat, she's no different than the criminals she hunts.

Yeah the song is reminiscent of Skyfall. It legitimately sounds like a Bond song. I was talking in general about her voice/tone - I don’t see think she sounds like Adele, but people seem to think so because it’s a comparison made often.

I think it’s more to do with there not being many singers making that kind of song, so Adele becomes an easy reference point.

The first Celeste song I ever heard was “Stop This Flame” and that’s because it was part of a video game soundtrack. Love that song



Crazy just saw homegirl in that Blitz movie on Apple TV.

Plays a English ragtime/swing singer. Brief cameo

I just can't help myself

I'm a sucker for shows like this I'm loving it.

Outside of one really nonsensical subplot how people cannot like this show it's crazy

If folks can't tell the difference between material like this, The Agency and Alex Cross I don't know what to tell you.

These 2 unlike AC actually had pace to them and gave weight to the protagonist and villains. Their villains has depth and the line between good and evil is very thin. There was no blaring loud music, just subtle undertones and quiet Jazz/medley music.

AC just turned into a SHYT show at times.

Sometimes pacing and less is more is good. Don't rush

Happy to see this get a second season. I rly hate both these actors they have as leads but i loved the series so far. Hope they stick the landing.
Maybe they can give Charles Dance a decent part in the second season (if they dont kill him). Waste of a good actor
