This is the one that has Elizabeth Hurley in it (proving she can't act), and that has the second - and last - appearance of Sergeant Obadiah Hakeswill, alongside the first appearance of the French spymaster Pierre Ducos.
it's also no as polished as the previous entry in the series, with the shocking moment towards the end failing to really hit home, and with the entire thing feeling, maybe, half an hour longer than it needed to be.

I liked the overall feel to this show, it was very discombobulating on purpose and it was very effective. Throughout the show, you don't know if there's going to be a rational explanation to everything, or if there's something alien about the whole thing.
I liked the ambiguous ending, but then I really wanted a resolution, because I'm not sure there will ever be a second season.
