Very good. Olivia Coleman is excellent.
Even as the dowdy forgetful mum in Green Wing she was excellent.Overall, the show keeps it wonderfully tense throughout though.
It's going to be interesting to see just how far to the top the corruption goes. Maybe government ministers? Or is it simply that they're trying to find outlets for their native arms industries?
Someone mentioned earlier that Roper's woman could be a CIA plant, and that she and Pine are trying to do the same job, not realising that they're in each other's way. I concur.

The only bit that rankles for me is that Pine is STILL shagging the bosses missus having been sussed by the mentally unstable corky already.
Deep undercover and having been warned already about what the likely outcome would be for both him and Jed in reality you wouldn't go within 100 yards of her thereafter in the real world.
Frankly it's a plot device that's been done to death now.

Maybe he is gambling on Corky telling Roper, and then convincing him it shows how far Corky will lie to keep himself in the circle and convincing Roper that Corky needs to 'go'?Deep undercover and having been warned already about what the likely outcome would be for both him and Jed in reality you wouldn't go within 100 yards of her thereafter in the real world.

It will be the stand-off that shows where Ropers future loyalty will lie.
Or Pine just finds her irresistible!
There is definitely involvement from the CIA in the circle somewhere but she is too obvious.

This and 11.22.63 are the best things on TV at present. I never really rated Tom Hiddleston, after only seeing him in the Avengers films as Loki - but can see him donning a white tux jacket and replacing Daniel Craig in 007's shoes. The best part, however for me, is Hugh Laurie as Roper, he's completely believable as the sort of chap you wouldn't cross-paths with, if you could avoid it. Bravo Aunty Beeb.

The first ep, the Brienne of Tarth replica rings home and has a chat with her mum. We don't find out much save that her mum is hostile to her daughter, but willing to take her cash, call her a 'ho', etc.
In the third ep we find out she has a son, and HL is fine with paying for him.
You're half right. It's the start of the second ep where the mum calls her. She asks "How's Billy" and the mother says "They say he doesn't even ask about you anymore"In the third ep we find out she has a son, and HL is fine with paying for him.
So mum doesn't have the kid but "They" do.
(Had to quickly skip through both ep!)
I binge watched the 1st 3 last night & got the impression that Daniel is her kid as well? She was referred to as his Mum a couple of times.
So she's Mum to the little blonde boy that Roper didn't know about and his son.

Great casting, tis a shame that Tom's being cast in this has pretty much by the kibosh on him playing Bond

Ep. 4 confirms that this is not correct - Daniel is sent off to be with his mother.
