I’ve recently had the opportunity to binge-watch the first season of this show and, thanks to a recommendation from my grandmother, I dived in.
From the commercials I’ve seen on USA I haven’t been very impressed. It looked rather light and thin with sub-par, overly dramatic, acting. Really, I couldn’t see how I would like it.
I was soooo wrong.
I love this show, it’s fantastic. It’s not dark, per-se, but it certainly holds up as a spy drama, and the acting is far from sub-par. I love all the characters (especially Sendhil Ramamurthy’s Jai) and can’t wait to start on season two.
Each episode is relatively self-contained with interesting plots, some leaving you guessing and many leaving you yelling at the computer screen “NOOOO!” or “YESSS!”. The only real problem I had was the relationship between Annie and Ben. I feel like there wasn’t very much chemistry between the two actors and that their meetings were strained. There could have been more drama in their re-acquaintance which may have added to the story. I also think that the 10-episode season could have been to blame. With a couple more episodes they could have stretched it out a little more gracefully.
All in all, I’m giving this show 4 ¾ stars.
