Poor casting choice. They should’ve picked someone else instead of Lashana Lynch.

Just found this show by chance, and was hooked since episode

1. I love Eddie here and shows he is a great actor.
2. I don't like the MI6 actor that much. she's beautiful but doesn't convince me as an MI6 agent, but does her job as a. actor, I think it was a miscast.

Anyway I've loved the episodes I've seen so far and really hope there are more seasons.

This is a superb show! The acting is believable and Eddie Redmayne is absolute perfection! I binged this entire season in one long evening because it was that good! I think Lashana Lynch is a bit of a mis-cast, she's not terribly great in this role but Eddie makes up for it by being worth waiting for the next scene change. This is a re-spin of the book and it's done very well, far better than the terrible movie with Bruce Willis.

I immediately added this to my watchlist as soon as I saw Lashana Lynch was in it and confirmed that the show is really based on the Frederick Forsyth novel. Lashana Lynch is definitely the type of actor who can deliver a great military character. Just looking at the rating here, I'm confident that I will not be disappointed.

Notes:
1. Really good pilot episode.
2. Opening credits give James Bond vibes.
3. Lashana Lynch delivers.
