Ep 2 better than Ep 1.
Not reaching the heady heights yet, though.

I enjoyed ep 2. The final scene rammed the point home a little too much, but it was well paced and the performances were strong. It wasn't particularly funny, but I'm happy that not all of them are.
Yes I thought it was better than the first one but the trouble is that each episode is - or tries to be - different from the last one.
Yes it was very good despite the blaring plot mistake (spoiler alert: he forgot about the cloud) and would never have got away with it in reality but I'm guessing that like TOTU of which this looked like a carbon copy, they inhabit their own insular world.
I wish sitcoms would readopt this tight and spare formula - A minimum of characters and sets gives more focus on plots and performances and script, That's if they make any more sitcoms.

Unfortunately 'quota' casting is never going to allow that.
Now, that was more like it!

How do you mean, quota casting?
Ep 3 back up to standard.
Whew.
One set, 3 actors (4 if you count the hitman) Brilliant.
SG - might I suggest a nifty edit in case people haven't seen it yet?
But it was good, wasn't it.

I'm going to nit-pick on a subject I'm by no means an expert, BUT, presumably they were looking at each other (binoculars) across a street, and I cannot see how a gunman can hit a target (Dimitri), through a glass window pane (possibly double glazed?), across a street with a pistol - you would need a rifle of sorts, surely, which is clearly what the other assassin shot Felix with.
Just sayin'..................
PS Was Eric Muller in on the set up? I don't think so, but what do you think?
Don't think you quite gave enough of the plot away there, Herc.

I thought Stephen had already done that...................
*EDIT Besides, how long is a decent time to sit on your hands, when people want to discuss a current programme - NOW. I have had situations where I haven't seen a prog. and THEN do not open a thread for fear of revealing the plot. If people are that desperate not to know, then they shouldn't look.
Makes common sense
