I don't pay for tv, so I have to buy the series on dvd. So far, I've seen Seasons 1 and 2 for a total of sixteen episodes. The last episode had Tom swimming out to sea after shooting Harry due to Hermann Joyce's black propaganda set up. So it's a clif.. no sea-hanger.

I do understand that the three main cast members leave the show at various times during Season Three, with Rupert Penry-Jones taking over Tom's slot. I'm dreading watching it, but I know I will because it's such a great show. So far, every episode has had its own unique signature.. very clever and original. I especially liked the one about the Russian Mafia trying to steal 20b of American donation money from the English bank that was holding it, only to have the first 1b of the theft co-opted by a cheeky, upstart London broker who was then crucified in a grisly Russian iconic fashion, with the other 19b moved by Danny and then lost. I just loved it when the American CIA agent, Christine Dale, tells Tom that the USA government is replacing the money because they can't be seen to have lost 20b. Then it was also interesting to learn that the whole gift was made to Moscow in order to make Russia more friendly and cooperative in the ME peace process.

I LOVE that show.
