... the tired TV tropes still abound:
Funny black guy pivots into another stereotype, namely, the smooth talking "playa". He is also intelligent enough to have graduated from MIT, but not intelligent enough to know what a honeytrap is.
The handsome, sensitive guy ... somehow is not equipped to win over a widow, without a woman telling him what to say, word-for-word, in his earpiece. The incompetent/emasculated man trope lives on
A team of highly trained spies, and - of course - one spy explains the mission to the other spy WHILE they are on the mission. For crying out loud, find a different way to deliver exposition
When both the good guys and bad guys get to the McGuffin of the episode, the main villain - rather than take the opportunity to maintain their cover - completely blows it by doing the tired, old "explain my villainous intentions" speech
These are just a few. However, the locations were fantastic, the plot was engaging enough - although it could have been developed better without the above stereoptypes - and there is enough to make me think I will give it one last go, as I always try to watch 3 episodes before I throw in the towel
