Surprisingly good
The series starts unexpectedly slow for the genre. But very soon you realize that this is a good production. While dealing with technology and hot areas of the Middle East, the lack of bling bling and violence that you see in American movies on the subject and on the region is actually an asset. It reflects the depth of attaching characters and the internal conflicts each one of them lives. Most importantly the character look very real and cultural aspects are very well played and represented. Suspense, an essentiel element of a good series, is always present without being overbearing. Actors represent very well the characters which is enhanced by a good focus on their faces by the camera. Drone shots of the locations are used all over, reducing cost, the production would have benefitted by having more outdoor non drone clips. Details of the plot may sometime be difficult to understand, but this does not spoil the overall plot. An enjoyable production with a good plot and great characters well played by the cast. Looking forward to season 2.score 8/10
