When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

The acting in this movie is really good.

Odd to call it as such given that Bourne was a copy of Bond, but this series thus far has more in common with for former than the latter.Regardless, this is a very well written political/spy thriller (5 episodes in) that is entertaining and intelligent. Each episode (as I recall) ends with a cliffhanger, so will keep you wanting more.I was curious after seeing Mark Strong cast as the lead as has the acting nous to take on the main theme of the show given his track record in the genre. Thus far (5 episodes in) I have felt far from disappointed as this is turning into a very intriguing spy show that TV has missed since arguably "24."The perspective of this show, thus far, is less aligned with "24's" early post-September 11 "terrorist" fears than with later American takes on "terrorism" such as the Bourne films, the underrated David Mamet movie, "Trojan" or UK film, "Eye in The Sky," where the impact of systemic issues has on humans - on all sides - is explored. It also has the vibe of some of Liam Neeson's recent action films within it as well. All of that makes this show to have all the potential to be a hit for the slightly more sophisticated straight male crowd looking for good entertainment that asks you to think a bit. That being said, the female characters are decently written and strong as well, so they are not just a side show.It's on EPIX in the U.S., a cable network that barely registers to most here and has had a series of misses with their original content, so it is going to fly under the radar to most here. I happen to get EPIX due to a subscription to HBO, so I am fortunate.If you liked the Bourne films and similar shows I listed at least tickle your fancy I'd suggest you check it out. It will unlikely be a waste of your time, as I am already looking forward to the next episode.

The series is a little slow to start, the first couple of episodes I found to be a little slow and confusing. However, after that, the series started making more sense. By the time the series (first series) wraps up, it becomes obvious what they're really saying: the power behind the throne(s), is massive, and does things that the governments need to cover up. Not, the other way around.Mark Strong, whom I am a tremendous fan of, is amazing. And yes, that is Gendy from GoT, and his wife was in Strike Back as a Mosad agent. Overall a great group of people that work well together.

I really looked forward to this based on the trailer and as I do like some of the actors in it. But oh my word, its amazing how many mistakes they have been able to fit into this so far, im at episode 6. The storyline/ script is so so bad, most of the characters in it so unbelievable and make so many mistakes, mistakes that no one in the real industry would ever make which makes the serie so unbelievable and unrealistic. I'm aware that lots of this is called artistic freedom and done for drama purposes but hey make it believable and realistic. So sadly i'm out killed by pure boredom, poor script, poor acting and on and on it goes.

How the heck is Fox airing this with NO sub titles, French and Arabic languages constantly being spoken, and NO sub titles for it, I'm sorry, I speak English and that's it Fox.
