The Recruit (2022)
A show on the ironies in the espionage world
It will make you laugh for sure and most probably you will compelled to finish the first season in one-sitting. It is more like a thrilling satire on spies. They have made all the subplots based on the ironies in the espionage world. Everything is aesthetically shot well, spending millions and millions, so it is more like watching 8 big budget espionage movies back-to-back.
The way they ended the season 1 is where it lacks some entertainment. Maybe it was planned during the post-production phase? Maybe the makers were forced to end it with a late plot-twist entangled with a sudden cliffhanger?
Let's hope they will correct this mistake with the sequels.
Treason (2022)
An amateurish espionage mini-series
The opening episode is intriguing but then it tests your patience. The plot is wafer-thin with so many flaws. Mi6 or CIA agents will laugh out at the way agents operate in this series. Protagonist Andrew's wife Maddy was a captain in artillery and now with the Army hospital, right? But then why the hell is she so stupid in this series? How would such an experienced veteran become an asset of a foreign agency so easily? Actually Oona Chaplin has tried her best, but the character is so underwritten.
Charlie Cox is still not over playing the blind superhero it seems, because in this series, his eyes are still not reflecting much or making us empathised when his character is worried or tensed.
