Strong start to the second series finale

[snoozejonc · 8/10 · 5 February 2021]

The Jennings' move quickly to get Jared out of harms way and the KGB push Stan into a very difficult corner.

This feels like 'part one' of the second series finale, with a high level of tension created to compel you to find out how it turns out for everybody.

The story is good mix of plot and character development. The intrigue level about Jared and who killed his family is through the roof, whilst the situation with Stan is at a similar level. Also very interesting is the suspicion level Paige has about her parents and all the possibilities of how a reveal of their identity would impact the family.

Performances are excellent from everyone and the overall production is as strong as ever.

It does its job of putting you on the edge ready for the climactic episode of series two.

Going through the motions episode!

[mm-39 · 7/10 · 16 May 2014]

Operation Chronicle is a going through the motions episode; the build up for the season ending climax. Agent Beeman is perfectly set up for the honey pot trap. Beeman is in love and recklessly, believes he will be Nina's hero. The art of helplessness, and sensuality. Nina is also playing off an K G B agent at the same time! Margaret is giving away more secrets as the desperate federal worker is in need of love. The wild card rouge navy seal is on his own cover up mission to pay back the Jennings. The slow burn is twisting the viewer towards anticipation for the main event. Something, somewhere has to give? It is just a matter of what? Well written, directed, acted and believable. I give Operation Chronicle seven out of ten stars.
