Episode 5

[bobcobb301 · 6/10 · 15 May 2017]

This episode saw quite a few characters on both sides of the equation pushed to their limits. I said it in my review for the last episode but this show feels forced right now, it should have been more than 6. This was a solid episode though. Freida Pinto is making me more of a fan of hers than I was before.

Its just still slow-moving. Even though they're heading toward a finale, the dialogue isn't engaging enough, hence a lot of low scores from my fellow IMDb users.

Episode 5

[Prismark10 · 4/10 · 12 July 2017]

The penultimate episode and Pence is unhappy that he is now being marginalised at the Metropolitan Police. His relationship with a black informer and a son by her has made him a laughing stock among his colleagues. Cullen is getting results by playing good cop and bad cop all by himself. He does not need Pence. Pence wants to go back to Rhodesia with his son.

Kent also seems to have been marginalised. His actions has upset the radical black community who regard him as a sell out.

Marcus and Jas are planning a big job. Blowing up Scotland Yard. They need to raise funds for the bomb and a a car with a false log book. They reach out to a fixer in the black community. However Marcus and Jas are the kind of radicals who believe that they should not have to pay for terrorism related equipment and brutally kill the guy. Somewhere along the line they do not appear to be smart. There is that laughable scene where they rob an office and Marcus uses Jas's real name.

Although we are heading for the conclusion, this feels to much like a slow burn episode. I think the serial seems stretched at six episodes.
