Heshima Thompson saves this entire episode with his absolutely stunning performance. The episode's premise is quite a weak one - surprisingly so given the usual quality of the series - with too many improbabilities and plot holes. But just watch Heshima Thompson breathe life and credibility into a character that otherwise would have been laughable. He displays exactly the right unstable balance between a child who has been let down by society and a child prodigy starting to comprehend his own genius. He says more with one sulking look than our main characters do with all the words of the script.
It was very satisfying watching this young man act indeed, and I sincerely hope we will see much more of him in the future.

Episode 2.7
Prismark1010 June 2019
Harry has his house burgled and loses his briefcase containing sensitive codes.
The Spooks team were planning a daring raid on stealing an air burst EMP missile system from a dissident French arms dealer.
The French have sent an agent in to work with the Spooks team. However the mission is compromised until the codes are received.
Luckily one of the thieves was JJ, a 14 year old boy with a photographic memory.
Harry and Tom plans to use JJ as a cleanskin to attempt to steal the system.
It was rather fortunate that JJ had a photographic memory. I think Harry's security system in his home was non existent. A decent enough episode especially as the French agent had his own agenda.

Third week episode in a row

I am 5 minutes into the episode and hate it already. Behave had three episodes in a row all about the team rather than the team dealing with baddies; a week writing problem. Everything is over the top and unrealistic. Overly dramatic and over acting. And why would the boss not report the break on and theft immediately. There are procedures for losing important stuff.
