The Recruit (2022– )
6/10
Not sure about this one

Warning: Spoilers
What made it hard for me to watch is how actually stupid this kid is, someone who is supposed to be smart because he's a lawyer and who even if he didn't somehow have proper CIA training would have seen shows and movies about how things work.

So how then is his character so absolutely stupid?

And how is there no growth or learning over 8 episodes - he continues to be dumb, continues to make the same mistakes and never learns. This was the most annoying thing for me.

The second most annoying this is his roommates, including the ex. Immature, nosy, don't respect his space and boundaries and don't get me started on the ex who runs all over the world looking for him while he's out there screwing everybody.

To begin with if I lived with a CIA employee I would automatically assume the apartment and my phone is bugged and I'll ensure I never have an incriminating conversation.

The good part - some aspects of the plot pulled me in and I think the show was well produced.
