Warning: Spoilers
I have watched both seasons and the show was disappointing relative to the few reviews I found. To give fair warning, the plot is incredibly disjointed and leave so many threads without endings, it's difficult at times to figure out what is going on. Half of the show was about spies and the other about drug informants with the same people handling both. Season 1 starts out ok, with strong character development taking over a marginal plot. Then it ends without any closure of any of the multiple story lines. They needed to wrap things up before moving on! Then start Season 2, only the main characters- Wolfgang, Rufus, and Gary (I think...) move onto season 2. Again trying unsuccessfully to weave several different storylines between now terrorism and drug smuggling. Then there is the plot with the "film" about British Chinese opium wars hinting at the similarities of todays opioid epidemic. So poorly executed but interesting concept. Because of how they handled the first Season, I felt less inclined to invest in Season 2. It's too bad since all the actors really showed up playing great parts. Not sure what happened to the production, it could of been a great series.
