Yeah, I just watched it all too on a friends Binge account and really enjoyed it. Had a nice pace and atmosphere to it for the most part, especially the first half dozen or so eps.

The plot armour was fairly plausible until the last couple of episodes, when it went rogue in BIG way.
There were just too many plot hole conveniences that were distractingly lazy, I get that it's fiction, but the in world logic was so dumb.

Straight away in E1 you need to accept that the worlds best sniper assassin allows himself to be instantly spotted at 3.8km because of a kids toy (that's very far and snipers are kind of meant to be discreet, also, remote ballistics meters exist)

And then he allows himself to get caught on CCTV, and Bianca jumps to the ridiculous conclusion that due to a suitcase he has must have a segmented barrel and must be working with a specific Irish gunsmith.
Oh yeh an he's British because of a backpack.

He is a pretty dumb master assassin tbh and whilst he has near superpowers he constantly does stupid things and gets away not through meticulous planning but by pure luck.

At least they set the tone early.

Yep, the freebie he did for the brother-in-law was way out of kilter with the meticulous mystery man he portrayed in the first few eps too.

And he only needed to have told the missus right at the start that he worked for MI6 or some other legit organisation as a pretext to his covert activities to stave off her sticky-beaking.

The silly car chases and the disappearing injuries just degraded the credibility as well.
 
The freebie for the brother in law was because it would involve more and more big noting - I mean I would have killed the BIL

He could have told her '' I left something at the bank and went back and caught a later flight - I should have rung you but I didnt want to bother you ''

The Pit Ep 2…heart breaking
Didnt effect me but I have a feeling some serious heartstring pulling is coming.

I never watched ER or cared for those kind of shows, but The Pitt is Excellent. I knew within 30 minutes of the first episode that this is gonna be good.

Hooked big time. The Lead is excellent and apparently was in ER. The rest of the cast seem to be picked perfectly.

As a parent of a kid that age her wailing through the ER from the fentanyl was the part I was talking about.

Yep the ER connection is discussed above somewhere in some depth
 
Disclaimer - Apple TV. Excellent performances from Cate Blanchett and Kevin Kline. Fairly intense stuff but the pay off is worth it. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would part way through so worth persevering. 8/10.

I'm 2 eps in and impressed. Leads are perfect in their roles. Only thing I can't work out yet is who is "she" that is dead.
No spoilers please.
 
Not sure as I use subtitles 100%

More to say thats how I watched it
Just in general, I take in so much more watching a TV/Movie with subtitles, was a game changer for me, ironically thanks to an ex girlfriend. Its how she learnt English, but I digress. :$
