The TVI Take

Octavia Spencer and Hannah Waddingham anchor a Europe-spanning chase built on a lie of omission: Spencer's Debbie has spent years believing her best friend is a forensic accountant rather than a contract killer for an outfit called The Agency. The show is best when it leans into that Thelma & Louise register; eight nearly hour-long episodes stretch a premise built for tighter comic momentum.
