    Surprisingly incoherent and boring

    Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

    Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.

    I wasted only 36 minutes before I stopped watching. I did waste a lot of ratio downloading the whole series as it was recommended by a friend. I wish I hadn't.I really don't understand how people can give it a 7 or even a 10. I mean to say, what other series do you watch? They must be absolute rubbish if you think this stuff is worth a 7 or 10.The script is pathetic, the jokes not funny, the "clever" stuff they do isn't, and the plots are silly. OK, I've watched only 35 minutes of the first episode, but you'd think the producer would put all his best stuff in the first program to get you interested. Clearly he didn't.If you went to watch something that is similar, except it is much better, try "Person Of Interest". Now that series does this sort of stuff but infinitely better.Someone else said that it is not the actors, it is the script that makes this so bad. I beg to differ. It is both.

    I think what's frustrating about this series isn't that it's rubbish, it's that it's almost good. And yet really, really isn't. It's a good premise, excellent titles and decent actors. The plot though, oh my giddy aunt, the plot. In every episode there's a moment where I'm thinking, 'Please don't say that line/do that twist', but they always do. They seem to go for the easy option in every episode and have yet to surprise me. It's such a shame. It feels like they use up all their creativity on the problem and then just stick a standard solution on the end, one we've all seen too many times before. The big reveal and the flashbacks that in programmes like 'Hustle' are detailed and intelligent are here predictable and underwhelming. Could still be a good show but it's got a lot of problems to fix. And as for the last line...

    I really like Warren Brown, and I really like spy-style shows, so this one ticks a lot of boxes. I didn't know it was meant to be a comedy, so I guess all the laughs for me were genuine. It's a bit like Jonathan Creek crossed with Spooks, with all the hi-tech undercover save the day spy stuff laced with the light-hearted feel, and the 'how did they do that?' at the end. Don't see why people should just flat out pan the show. If the actors had a laugh whilst doing it, good for them - can't do the serious roles all the time after all. It's light hearted, but that doesn't make it a waste of licence fee - I can think of a whole lot of other dross that wins that award hands down.If it's not for you then fair enough, but that doesn't devalue the show for other watchers who are enjoying it. I personally am hoping for another series or two.

    hello fellow TV show addicts,please excuse a little explanation at the beginning. this is the first time i feel obligated to write here on IMDb. For quite a while i am overall a little disturbed by the sometimes extreme ratings for shows here on IMDb. As if there were only tens and zeros out there. In my opinion one needs to learn to differentiate a bit in his life. To moan about an overall decline in values, the wasting of taxpayers money and other exaggerated, demagogic ranting just because of a TV-show? Really? Over here in many of central Europe's other countries public service broadcasting is still your granny's TV. Limited to two Channels, broadcasting News, some decent reports and besides that mostly breakfast television, dusty whodunit repetitions and other things with a slightly relicish feel. All that in mind back to topic:This TV-show may not be another Luther, Sherlock nor any other high end, ingeniously plotted, exquisitely acted, overall gorgeous, critically acclaimed, kick-ass TV-marvel. but, does it need to be? does it want to?i stumbled upon this new format by accident whilst looking for new things to watch. I liked the leading actor quite a lot on Luther, so i gave it a try. Thankfully before reading any reviews. A decent meal can leave you quite satisfied after a long day, doesn't it? And like that this show works for me. Yes, you can see right through the webbing of this show. The lead, the geek, the eye candy. Does a twist even deserve to be called a twist if you expected it right on time? rather not. The almost comical black and white views on good and bad. But still, i liked it. I liked to be right. I liked getting nothing unexpected. I liked the boastful appearance of the characters. I liked the snappy comments and the predictable one-liners. So if you're looking for something to clear your head, ease your mind or have a smile now and then. I encourage you to try it.Not every nice evening has to feature a six-course dinner.greetings from the deep south of Bavaria
