Packed with brilliant performances (Helen Mirren, Harrison Ford, Aminah Nieves) and scenes but ruined by Julia Schlaepfer's overacting and the cheesy dialogue during the romantic scenes. 'Alexandra's' British accent is embarrassingly dire. She repeatedly slips into a bizarre, deep, Germanic drawl and the unbearable drama school acting made us wince. Alongside the other, more serious storylines, and understated performances, her character is laughable, almost a caricature, dampening the impact of the series. For this reason the last few episodes became unbearable to watch. Beautifully shot and overall enjoyable but painful at times with Julia on screen (sadly)
