MI-5: Legitimate Targets (2003)
Season 2, Episode 1
5/10
More of the same, unfortunately
25 November 2022
Terrorist attacks on military targets are occurring around the UK. MI-5 initially think they are being carried out by Patrick McCann's Irish group but new information points to a Serbian war criminal with an axe to grind. Zoe attempts to infiltrate the terrorist group by befriending one of their key personnel.

The final episode of Season 1 was weak and easily the worst episode to date. Silly, implausible plot and a very stupid, even more contrived, ending. On the plus side, it looked like at least we would be rid of Tom's annoying nagging girlfriend and her kid.

My hope was that things would now be back on track after that blip. Sadly, no. The plot is slightly better here but still feels very implausible and is full of holes. Even worse, Tom's girlfriend and her kid are still around and as annoying as ever.

For star watchers, early-career Benedict Cumberbatch makes a brief appearance.
