Man, I loved the book. Will check this out if it is well rated for sure.

I'm two episodes in and think it's pretty solid so far. I think Redmayne pulls off a good assassin.

Anyone else watching this ? This show is bad ass

It's good

It's a slog. Far too much time spent on the detective's story. She gets as much if not more screen than Redmayne but her story is boring AF. We made it through 4 episodes and probably won't return.

Agreed about the girl. Really hoping Redmayne gets away with it.

Is your issue the character / writing or Lashana Lynch? Unfortunately I've been seeing some backlash online with regard to her casting…..

Just finished it. We enjoyed it. Hated the Bianca character, but I think we were supposed to. The parallels between her and Charles were interesting, though. Actress did a fine job imo. Looking forward to season 2.

I've liked it so far but there is one thing from the first episode that is truly bugging me.

Prior to taking his shot at the politician he takes two practice shots to seemingly zero in his scope. Even with a suppressor I'm having a hard time believing a professional assassin is going to blow two large chunks out of the side of a building where is target is about to enter. Seems like a good way to get peoples attention. Anyway.... just a minor annoyance, overall been a pretty decent show.

Was a very worthy watch. Wife and I knocked it out in just 3 nights, which is super rare for us. Hoping they run it back

Niceeeee

Final episode to go and I am really digging the series. Looking forward to the finale and next season. I too was perplexed by the shots to zero in his scope. Seems like a bad idea if you are trying to avoid being detected. Minor complaints for a well done show!

I did wonder about that. How do special forces go about doing that if they have to post up somewhere discretely?
