The Undeclared War

After reconciling with her brother, who told her the father had been killed by accident and it wasn’t suicide about which she had been feeling guilty, Saara said she was going to resign. She told her brother she had made a mistake and left a mess, which he said she needed to go back and clear up. As she arrived, Vadim sent her a link. She went in and (I’m not sure if this is right as the first bit may have happened!) he had sent her both the translated version of the Russian briefing about the whole exercise to screw over GCHQ, and then tons of data detailing loads of FSB activity. When he was doing this, his co-worker saw him, Saara was watching and then the screen went black. End of show! It was very abrupt, you don’t know the reactions, fate of Vadim (death or gulag) whether Saara decides to stay. But I found it very effective.

I thoroughly enjoyed this show, especially because, although it was set in the digital world, I didn’t have to freeze frame and go up to the TV to read screens. The way they used dramatic metaphors for her coding work was very well done imho.
