Starts well with some interesting international settings and a premise that feels very topical. That it upsets reactionary viewers (anyone that uses the word "woke" in their reviews) is a pleasant bonus. The story unfolds well over the first four episodes but rushes to wrap up in the fifth. The moustache twirling antagonist is revealed but with actions that don't seem consistent with their motivations. There's some gratuitous argy baggy before an abrupt ending that tells rather than shows the outcome in a distinctly dissatisfying manner. Did they run out of budget for a planned sixth episode?
Incidentally Taylor Fay really nailed his scenes as the blind boy Sam. It's refreshing to see a level-headed child character.
