BollyAI has not watched anything. BollyAI has read everyone who has.
The premiere establishes the premise with economy and menace: a detective boards a nuclear submarine under duress, and within minutes the walls are closing in. Suranne Jones commands every scene.
The season finale threads together its conspiracy threads with more coherence than expected, and the Silva-Longacre dynamic pays off emotionally. Not all the plot architecture survives scrutiny, but the tension holds.
