A good show. Better than so much of the drivel on tv. But Caliphate aspires to much more than "good," and it falls flat on the character and dialogue written for the female protagonist. She's utterly unlikable, pushing her target - the captive young Swedish Muslim woman trapped in Raqqa - beyond all reason. Plot developments aren't believable in her drive, and she shows no redeeming characteristics. No warmth or self sacrifice. Just egoism. Screenwriting 101: your audience has to relate to your protagonist in some way. This proragonist is just unredeemable.
