His Russian ex connect leaves the books by that guys hosptial bed as a cryptic message to meet her as they should be talking off grid. Then they proceed to talk to each other on the phone for the entire series afterward. This annoyed the hell out of me. Why didnt you just call him to begin with? Amazes me how much these characters are just openly blabbing about state secrets over the phone constantly.

CIA? You mean SVR? The ones who kidnapped the daughter but had no weapons while holding her so they were overpowered, after they managed to kidnap her, daughter of now person in charge of Mi6, in broad daylight by jamming her signal in movement whole Mi6 couldn't find her even though they had people protecting her, but she slipped in the back?

I mean are these secret agencies very smart and resourceful or very dumb and limited. It cannot be both scene to scene.

There is a lot of implications you have to make if you want to enjoy this series, sadly.

EDIT: it was CIA indeed as shown in episode 3 and I stopped at episode 2, which makes this even more ridiculous hahaha

I thought it was hilarious when the MI6 agents approach the small boat the Russian agent is hiding on, and she easily escapes them because they didn’t notice there was more than one way off the boat? A whole group of agents can’t cover one small boat? This show makes MI6 look super incompetent.

That was gold, for a moment I thought that they are showing them finally being competent since they found her on a boat, and there it went...

Not to mention, guy in the hospital thought they were from Cox. So Cox takes a pic of the books and walks away? I usually give a show a few episodes if they are a slow starter. This is a non starter.
