I do not get the bad reviews people are giving this show. Sure it's far-fetched like most espionage thrillers. I thought this was so much better than the laughable, The Night Agent.
The acting was really good. I love Eva Green. She was amazing and absolutely brilliant playing the character of Vanessa in Penny Dreadful series.
This show was very interesting to me. You get a real taste of Europe while watching. It is such a shame to see what we humans have done to this earth. Nuclear/industrial plants on Dunkirk beach, gigantic monstrous glass buildings everywhere in Europe and in Brussels EU commission headquarters is over the top human trash. It is no better here in the U. S. A, Canada, South America. Everywhere humans have left scars all over this earth. It is shameful.
Getting back to the show I thought it was suspenseful and I like the characters even though they were all very flawed.
These types of shows (unless they are true stories) are not to be taken as realistic or in a serious fashion. They are pure entertainment. Some I like and are watchable others I love, love, love and then some stink. Liaison was a show I liked. I was not bored and I found the plot quite interesting.
