A disappointing first episode.

Hannah is once again looking to bring down Dubravka, and discover who is leaking vital information to her from The Station, she is now working closely with Billy. Dubravka is joined by her nephew Goran, who has a message from Croatia.

After two years, I'd all but forgotten this show existed, so prior to watching it, I decided to rewatch the first series, and unlike many, I enjoyed it. The same cannot be said for the debut episode of the second series.

Maybe a two year break was too long, and interest in the show had declined somewhat, but watching it was a chore, it felt slow, laboured, and some of the dialogue, especially Dubravka's was excruciating, too stereotypical bad villainess, all she needed was to shout out 'nothing can stop me now' at the end.

Hopefully it will improve, as I said I enjoyed the first series, but wow, this first episode of the second series, it was ok, it should have been so much better.

5/10.

I am a big fan of Eagle Eye drama reproducing those European shows that were shown on Walter Presents.

The original shows are great but the remakes are generally poor.

The first series of this was bad. I didn't see the second series of the Swedish version to compare but, despite a familiar castlist, the show does have something missing.

I can never understand why Leslie Sharp gets so much work. She seems to be the same in everything. I have just seen the TV version of The Full Monty and she is no different here.

I can't make out if she is a method actor or just reading her lines from a dummy board.

There is never any emotion with her just her lines clearly pronounced and the rest of the cast seem very pedestrian too.

Channel 4 seem to have given up on making drama and this doesn't help. Maybe Eagle Eye Drama should restrict themselves to the great Christmas animation they do.

There are only 5 episodes this time but that already feels like if will be too much.
