The episodes are well acted and the tension is built to a usually satisfying climax in each case... however the last episode in the series is simply too predictable and unlikely to happen, it becomes obvious and somewhat comical to the extent I found myself cheering as each ridiculous plot artefact unfolded... A fortress building without a contingency for occupants in case of fire, or bomb, in the building... An agent that takes a laptop from the IRA and it doesn't occur to him that it might be booby-trapped? What sort of an idiot would do that? A security system so well designed it is disabled with a bit of chocolate fondant? What utter nonsense. The script writer needs a slap if this is their excuse for a good piece of work.. shame on them.

Series 1 is dated perhaps, but stories are too fabricated
