Caught the first episode of this a couple days ago. Seems like it could turn out pretty good.

5 Episodes into it, some of it is pretty predictable, but I am feeling it.

Season Finale was this past weekend. Really enjoyed it. It is not edge of your seat thriller, but for a powered human team it was a pretty descent origin story. It set things up pretty well for future seasons. Thankfully they wrapped up the amnesia bits, it may play a part in the future, but it won't be the focus.

I enjoyed this dopey, super-secret-spy-organization thriller. Attractive cast, hackneyed premise (that's okay), beautiful cinematography, X-men vibe, and clearly the first part of a (hopefully continuing) story.

Lead actress isn't the best. She's anorexic and kind of hot, but when she is called upon to be subtle, she surely isn't!

BUT, what the show does have going for it is LONDON-PORN! If you love visitng London, then this show will be your travel-porn. The settings and the way it promotes the beautiful spots in and around London is superb! Better than Rick Steves! Take notes, travel fans!

Good-enough, entertaining, fun. Not trying to be genius level for sure. But very slick and polished in appearance.
