Here's a clue for all you wannabe spy writers: watching innocent people suffer horribly, because somebody on government payroll made yet another stupid mistake at trying to manipulate terrorism in the national interest, is not entertaining. It isn't even interesting, especially when the story is so stupid and the characters so utterly inept and dimensionless. Just the lead lady alone is excruciating both as an actress and a character, a daddy's girl who has been nepotized up the ranks until she gets to give the orders now and then, and just keeps that same idiotic smirking sneer of incongruent non-plused cynicism on her face each time her lame-brained plans lead straight to catastrophe.
This is not about anything other than brainless violence, it has nothing to say of any value, it relies entirely on worn-out cliches and pop-culture bigotries in place of a story, and unless you just enjoy watching bureaucrats who think they are spies screw up everything they lay their hands to episode after grueling episode, don't even bother. Maybe you can spare yourself the severed limbs and gruesome child murders and a whole lot of horrified screaming; I can't even imagine what sort of person would even find this tolerable to watch, even less so the kind of people it must have required to produce this pointless assault on the viewership.
