Is it worth starting?
This is 6 seasons deep — English crime with a drama streak, not one for younger kids. Several seasons in, so it's a commitment to start rather than a one-night sampler.
- Why
- Currently 8.0/10 from 979 ratings, which is a good sign this early.
- Skip if
- a backlog this size is the opposite of what you're after
- Best for
- A proper binge, once you've got the weeks for it
Story
Follow a dysfunctional team of MI5 agents—and their obnoxious boss, the notorious Jackson Lamb—as they navigate the espionage world's smoke and mirrors to defend England from sinister forces.
