Undercover (I) (2016)
6/10
It's exciting at times, just suspend your disbelief.

Where to even begin, episodes are either brilliant, or terrible, there is no happy medium, one thing that is certain, this should have been a four part series, at six, it's better padded than a Dreams mattress.

The story is up and down, implausible, nonsensical, but actually pretty enjoyable. You will be baffled by the actions of some of the main characters, particularly when you consider the positions they hold.

It's woke, Yep, it's great to see a principally black cast, it does make a nice change, but on a few occasions, they drop in a few lines that make you want to cringe, the Oxford jibe, not true.

The best aspect, the acting, the two leads, two people I'm a huge fan of, Okonedo and Lester, the acting from the pair, is first rate, two of Britain's best.

I can't really score it higher than a six, Parts 2 and 5 are terrific, parts 3 and 4 are a snore fest.

Overall, it's good, but know what you're getting. 6/10.
