Sadly the same guy (Matt Charman) who wrote the brilliant 'Bridge of Spies!'
It seems everything Netflix touches turns to dreck. They have the reverse Midas Touch.
I am a big fan of both Charley Cox and Ciarán Hinds, but the Sophomoric dialogue and film-school plot lines swamp them right out of the gate. A couple of bumblers manage to come up with a plan that involves walking right into a posh private club, putting on an apron, serving a drink to the Head of MI6 and no one asks: "Who the bloody Hell are you?" Then it goes straight downhill from there.
I was looking forward to a taught, intelligent, clever spy caper and instead I got 'Treason,' which is what this series should be charged with.
