I didn't know this was based on a novel by Matthew Quirk starting it so I wouldn't know if this was a great adaptation.
I liked it still. Not perfect by any means. It's your typical political thriller drama with twists and turns. Nothing new, you can say maybe cliche too certainly not something to win awards with but if you're into that genre I'd say give it a go? It was a surprisingly smooth ride. Kinda exciting. Had some good tension and action. Nothing too over the top. The characters didn't pop out as overly annoying or too gary/mary sue type. There's several povs that they focus on aside from Peter and Rose that I thought connected well so it doesn't feel too one sided.
I like Peter and Rose. Rose I thought was going to be damsel in distress but thank god she's not. She earns her weight. Peter giving Owen vibes from The Recruit (another Netflix show starring Noah Centineo). Let's just say he can do his job well but sometimes you question some of his more hinky choices haha though perhaps less charming compared to Owen. The actor feels more like Gerard Butler movies saving his country type guy. My favorite characters are Dale and Ellen. I love unhinged characters. The other characters are good they have more going for them that just one off tropes.
The vibe of the show I'd say is more similar to Bodyguard (the one starring Richard Madden). It's not as playful as The Recruit was. Anyway overall I thought it was a good watch!
