When I started watching this Netflix series, I thought I was watching the 2023 British series with the exact same title. I quickly realized I was wrong, as that series involves a more regional story of a diplomat who assists British citizens who get into trouble in Barcelona. This version, of course, involves world politics at the highest echelons. In any case, this series grabbed me and hung on for dear life. It’s rapid fire dialogue and conflict reminded me of The West Wing, and that is not a bad thing. There are a lot of balls in the air here, plot wise, so you shouldn’t watch it too close to nap time, if such a thing exists for you. The fifty minutes episodes seem about fifteen minutes long, so don’t be shocked if you binge-watch it. It felt to me like they saved too much for the final cliffhanger scene, considering that Netflix still hasn’t announced a second season. But it seems likely there will be ione, since the streaming g service indicates this was the favorite program of views right now, I will look forward to seeing it.
