Martian is a covert CIA agent ordered to abandon his undercover life and return to London Station. When the love he left behind reappears, romance reignites. His career, his real identity and his mission are pitted against his heart; hurling them both into a deadly game of international intrigue and espionage.
Yay! :) Enjoyed the last episode, well done. Great acting, and a good budget that shows!

Not bad show but unfortunately French original series (Le Bureau des Legendes) was so much better.
Could be, IMDb rating looks good, but I won't ever find out (if this show gets roughly as many episodes). :cool:

1x9. I watched this episode louder than usually and really enjoyed how perfectly the music supported what we see. Well done!
I also really liked how they did the translations of the chat: at first, Russian was being typed, and then turned into English, allowing the viewer to read along without having to use subtitles or awkward translation bubbles. Only when it was established that we were getting a translation, only English was shown for further messages. Genius!

I expect from him
to know what is in his pockets. In his line of work he has to be on alert 24/7, has to be aware of everything that might compromise him...
I don't recall either how the ID ended up in his pocket. At first I thought he purposefully had the ID in his jacket for a plan of sorts to fool his followers...but no, he just didn't know or forgot or whatever...
I expected a lot of professionalism from this character. I get that his relationship with Sami is supposed to have an influence on him, but not like this.
True, in a perfect world someone like him would be perfect. But, realistically, people do screw up. You see/ read about/ experience it everywhere, so I found that plausible (enough). :)

This show lost me...none of the storylines became remotely interesting and are far too loosely held together.
The student ID of his daughter also tipped the scale for me on this one...that screw-up is bigger than what he scolded Owen over...
Was it shown how her ID ended up in his jacket? I don't recall...
Sometimes, people wear stuff from other family members, even if only at home. Maybe she put it in there accidentally?

I like the show. :) They expose the inner conflicts better than most other spy shows IMHO.
Yes, it could be better, but I don't have much to complain about. 8/10 so far.
