This show is incredible.
The first episodes were slo0w and I thought that there was a paucity of skilled writing re: some imaginative thinking but OH HOW WRONG I WAS.
The writing is SPOT-ON and the plot moves on at a parlimentary pace....each carefully-made move thought and re-thought and analyzed until it had a soul of it's own and finally...the pieces begin to fall into place....like a well made jigsaw and reveal the underlying plots and sub-plots that make up a good.....no...GREAT...political spy thriller.
I would say this is BY FAR....the finest and best written series of it's kind that I have EVER seen.....bar none!
Don't miss this if you have a chance to see it and don't be put off by the first few episodes....it'll soon have you wrapped up in intrigue like no other show you've ever viewed.
