Ruth Frampton (577 KP) rated ISAN - International Sensory Assassin Network in Books

The search for the story of the main characters past and why she is now an assassin is an intriguing idea and is well told. The author leaves it on a good cliff hanger which made me go straight into reading the second book in the series, I'll review that separately.
The characters felt realistic and believable, the plot, whilst set in a dystopian future, was believable and kept up the mystery of what had actually happened making it fitting for whatever the reader chose.
Definitely worth a read.
Reviewed freely after receiving an ARC copy.

It is such a different show from when it first started, I am so glad they fully leant into the more comedic, and that 'not take ourselves too seriously' attitude because it has paid off.
This season looked a lot individualising episodes (whilst easily following the main arc too), paying homage to so many other shows and genres, and they always do it so well.
This show genuinely makes me laugh out loud, yet still has its own poignant moments, and touches on broader issues without forcing an opinion, it just occasionally makes you think.
I love the cast, they have fully embraced diversity, and I hope they will do more with this as time goes on as well.
What other show do you know that would take a fight scene and choreography it to a Sisqo song? Fantastic 👌

Again, judging solely from the three surviving episodes, the arc of the season seems to go from fairly 'straight' stories (Girl on a Trapeze doesn't feature Steed at all) towards the kind of tongue-in-cheek, off-beat material the series is best remembered for (Tunnel of Fear is rather more extravagant, with more of a focus on Steed as an entertaining eccentric). You can almost see the producers figuring out the potential of Patrick Macnee, not that Hendry isn't completely reliable. Not the show in its iconic form, but you can see how it started heading that way very early.
