| Yes. I think the writing is abysmal and acting is poor, except for Jason Isaacs, whose character is very predictable. But it's working to the makers' advantage with me, since the more irritated I am by it, the stronger my urge to watch the next one :| There is one thing I feel differently to most ot... |

Former Lieutenant Colonel - He was director, briefly, of the FSB, which developed from one fragment of the dissolved KGB, and so is arguably not quite the direct successor it is assumed to be. [/pedant] |

| I am like this. I've found it less of an issue as I've got older and spend more of the day surrounded by people while I'm essentially zombified by my work routine.
