The first episode of Informer had a bright start. It still shows promise.
Yousef has been found dead. He had information about a prolific terrorist, Ahmed El Adoua.
Gabe needs Raza to get close Yousef's brother Dadir, a drug dealer.
Dadir is volatile over the death of his brother and Raza finds out how dangerous his new life is going to be.
However Raza manages to think in his feet and gets on with Dadir.
By the end of this episode it is Gabe we are left wondering about. His sudden anger towards his wife when he invites Holly to have dinner at his house.
Informer might be less about how deep Raza finds himself than being more about Gabe. Holly looks less like a new recruit than someone who has been placed to watch what Gabe is doing with his informers.
We see this in the opening of the second episode which expands on the opening scenes of the previous episode.
