A few comments: This mini-series is based on the previous, highly acclaimed French TV series, “Le Bureau des Legendes”. It’s the latest from Academy Award-winning British director Joe Wright (“Darkest Hour”).
As Episode 1 unfolded, there was A LOT going on (at least 3 parallel lines) and it took me a while to see and understand the bigger picture. By the time we’re in Episode 2, I was fully invested in it as there’s tension and drama everywhere. This mini-series benefits quite a bit from Michael Fassbender’s excellent performance (as the Martian). By the end of Episode 2, I was (and am) ready for more.
The remaining 8 episodes will be released weekly on Sunday nights. If you’re in the mood for a top-notch CIA spy thriller or are simply a Michael Fassbender fan, I highly suggest checking this out and draw your own conclusion.
