END OF SEASON SPOILERS, FOR THE WHOLE SEASON 1. Absolutely magnetizing idea, I can’t stop watching….but the execution is pissing me off and giving me a massive headache. Like George and the rest, every episode I tune in thinking things are going to be better this time around, but. The complete lack of protocols and security everywhere hundreds of times in every episode are driving me mad with distraction. I want to throw stuff at the TV. It’s so intellectually lazy and it’s like they couldn’t be bothered. Nobody really gets spy training except for a shooting range. Stuff is never guarded and nobody gets caught on camera even though London is the CCTV surveillance capital of the world. You can have a bring your bae to work day to the most top secret facility, you can walk up and bluff your way into driving a nuclear bomb strapped to a regular semi flatbed through a border with no checkpoints, you can open a fridge and take out serum that’s a closely guarded national secret and give it to a random civilian, you can waltz into the Russian embassy with a gun in your jacket, because there are no metal detectors in any building, you can shoot the ambassador and their entire family and no SWAT team comes in to gun you down. There’s no surveillance on the agents themselves. I am hate watching but I’m powerless to stop because the idea is so out there. And it’s not like the writing is brilliant or anything. What is going on? It’s like I’ve lost all self respect. I’m wolfing down bags of cotton candy for breakfast.
