A jumbled SciFi mess of jumping time backwards / forwards / backwards again in time. Big set pieces are Bond-like but the storyline needs aggressive editing by a real editor to remove the ridiculous. I get the feeling this kind of mini-series is what you will increasingly get in the world of subscription TV: budget spent on blockbusting CGI rather than tight quality screen writing. Sad really because the early episodes had some real promise - the Italian train sequence was brilliant but it all got lost by the end of the series. Still, I guess I stick it out to the end which justifies the 3/10 rating.

Oh good grief. What starts as a brilliant scenario with a pack of great actors descends into shout out loud stupidity, idiotic behaviour and a pointless 'after story'. So, lets not shoot the terrorists when we get the opportunity, let's hammer on locks and slam doors to let them know where people are hiding. How about not listening when someone shouts 'get away' and getting stabbed as a result while dumbly walking towards a terrorist with a quizzical but dumb look on your face? Who on earth quality checked this output appalling? The final episode is so bad it's actually hard to put into words.
