I wouldn't say it was terrible acting but the actors seemed to have far too much to try and portray and it became tiresome keeping up. All the lead actors have pedigree but the material was so wide reaching I didn't know what they were trying to convey and I suspect neither did they.
This is a series trying to be all things to everyone, deep fake videos, illegitimate child who appears on the scene, gas lighting, old spy network, Russians, Chemical attack, Nuclear station melt down, Scottish independence, assassination attempts, bad cops, good cops, Danish spy, double agents, MI5, Political thriller and more. It just didn't work.
As much as people praised the Stephen Dillane character, he was just cheesy and miscast as an old time spy chief. It didn't mix well with modern policing (well what there was) and having him be the father of the woman who should have got the top job but he manages to stymie. Now I'm getting confused, and so does this.
The characters were badly written and the story too convoluted to hold my attention and I did watch all 10 episodes, the last two seemed to slow down a little to be more enjoyable the the first eight. Too little too late.
A 4 for, hmmmm no idea, just like this series.
