A series of two halves

I loved the first series of Quantico so naturally looked forward to this. The first half of the series is similar to the first series. This time set at the CIA training school as they learn how to be an agent. Often going back and forth in time to present day. This time their is a convulted plot about a rogue group of agents working in the security service. Along with trying to find out who they are and what they want. I had quite a gap between watching the first and second half of the series. But the second half changes direction completely with a focus on some conspirators trying to bring around a far right takeover of government. Unfortunately it just became a bit of a slog to finish the series at 22 episodes. The first half was interesting but it got over complicated later on. The ending was very disappointing as well.

Kudos

Exploding Bubble Gum: The Start

Mission: Impossible- you cant have the month of "Tom Cruise" without this film franchise. This one started it all, the one with exploding bumble gun, the one with the close call, the one with a different face mask. The one that intudces Ethan Hunt and Luther Stickell. Such a excellent film, and franchise as a whole. Personally my favorite is the 3rd one, but i get to that eventually. For now lets start at the beginning.

The Plot: When U.S. government operative Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and his mentor, Jim Phelps (Jon Voight), go on a covert assignment that takes a disastrous turn, Jim is killed, and Ethan becomes the prime murder suspect. Now a fugitive, Hunt recruits brilliant hacker Luther Stickell (Ving Rhames) and maverick pilot Franz Krieger (Jean Reno) to help him sneak into a heavily guarded CIA building to retrieve a confidential computer file that will prove his innocence.

Like i said before a excellent film, a excellent start for a excellent franchise.
