I started watching this yesterday, and it’s very good. I like Sacha Baron Cohen a lot! I have two more episodes to go, but so far it’s been gripping - even if I’m probably not following everything that’s going on.
As I watch it, I can’t help but think of Benedict in Ironbark. I realize that it’s a completely different spy story, but there must be similarities in these two ordinary men being recruited and trained as spies! And then I worry that audiences will be all spied out by the time Ironbark comes out - that they figure they’ve already seen this story and won’t give Ironbark a chance.
