This is a 'spy-Manchrian-Candidate' series based loosely around the type of indoctrination we saw poor Jason Bourne get roped into acdecade ago. Only, with Jason, once we figured out who the bad guys were, the stories were pretty easy to follow.
In this series, there are Jason Bournes all over the globe--some programmed by the Russkies, some working for the 'good guys'. We also have progressive flashbacks, which is a lousy way to unfold a story. In my opinion, go back once & give us the back-story & then get on with it.
Furthermore, despite the multiplicity of languages, in Episode 3, the sub-titles for Hindi, Korean, Russian & Spanish abruptly stop. Question: how are WE supposed to follow the story? Never seen it before--can only assume the Production ran out of money. Next time, Prime, just do the story in English, with accents?! We get it.
Notice there are no spoilers? I don't have a clue where this is going. The 'fight' scenes are great, but, if there is a master-story unfolding, I haven't figured it out yet. And, if I don't see sub-titles soon, I never will
