Trying to be 24- missed

Acting
Brilliant. Hermione Norris was standout. 8/10.

Story
More twists than you can expect. I enjoyed most of them, but some were a little far fetched. I liked the ending though.

Production
Why ruin it with a catch up every 29 minutes? That annoying bass rumble and repeated 'suspense' sample. This also necessitated going back to the library after every episode - I couldn't find an easy way to skip to the next episode

This would have been so much better and enjoyable if it had been in one standard audio book file, without the awful repeated sample and catch-ups.

Interesting

I enjoyed the production and the actors were believable and well cast. I found some points in the narrative annoying very telling etc but all in all excellent. The plotline was interesting and fun. You definitely get a thrill ride...the twists and turns happened at just the right moment and the summation was accurate and satisfying.

loved it!

A very good listen. it was intriguing and engaging all the way through.
I listened to it in one go, I kept thinking, "just one more part" and before I knew it I'd listened to the whole thing

off to search for something similar

Fast paced intricate plot.

A fast paced story with an intricate if implausible plot. A bit too many gratuitous uses of the F word for my liking.

Admirably succinct modern spy thriller

Didn't waste any time, which was a definite bonus in comparison to so many over long TV shows which could have been done in half their running time, and the script sketched in characters and plot very well, aided and abetted by the excellent voice actors. Multiple twists and turns to the plot, and while I frankly did not find the denouement very original or even credible, good nevertheless
