The initial installment of this series crawls along at an uncomfortable pace. While the second episode shows some improvement, it still hasn’t managed to connect with me. Throughout much of the first episode, we're subjected to a grating young woman whose hairstyle suggests her mother attempted a haircut using a kitchen utensil. She drifts around complaining about her floundering career as a journalism intern. Then, abruptly, she finds herself pursuing a nebulous lead for a potential story, which involves more aimless wandering. The second episode delves further into the character of the 1960s agent, but he falls flat. Primarily because he doesn't come across as someone who belongs to that era; there’s no sense of wonder, surprise, or disapproval regarding contemporary customs, not enough to make a difference. This would have added layers to his personality. Instead, he comes across like a lifeless mannequin from the 1960s. His responses are stiff and uninspired. Apparently, he dislikes firearms—a trait that, even today, seems wildly inappropriate for his chosen profession. The overall impression is of an occasionally self-aware reimagining of history that simply doesn't ring true. This isn’t helped by the unsuccessful attempts at humor either. Essentially, it’s the usual uninspired and cautious entertainment we’ve grown accustomed to from Western productions. It lacks any vibrancy or spark, seemingly out of concern for avoiding even minor offense.
