I tend to like intelligence/conspiracy movies and series, and I do not find that such works should be full of chases, explosions, assassins, and the like, but I would like to see unpredictable events, focusing on private life only if it provides additional value to the course of main activities, and references to the guilty ones as late as possible. Emanating from above, I can't say I am too satisfied with the general frame of the plot, a lot became evident too soon; the only real set of surprise applies to Will's next-door neighbor Andy. And the ending - too odd and vague, perhaps meant for possible sequel.
Apparently, there were many British paragons, but the US accomplishment left somewhat to be desired. Thus, the series could have shorter, perhaps even by half.
As for the cast, James Badge Dale as Will Travers is slightly arid to me, although I can imagine that mastermind analysts are not too colorful persons... The most distinctive for me were Arliss Howard as Kale Ingram and Michael Cristofer as Truxton Spangler; female characters were not defined in this series, although I have always liked Miranda Richardson.
Well, I prefer e.g. Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, House of Cards.
