Wife and I just finished this.

Little mix of sci fi into the Russian spy genre.

We really enjoyed it. Anyone else? Ending didn't make sense to me.

Yeah, I flew through it pretty quickly and enjoyed it.

As far as the ending goes, I assume she was working for the Russians to infiltrate the CIA.

She was a deep cover Russian agent the whole time, so deep even her mother, who was her handler, didn't know someone else was handling her. The ultimate goal of Whisper was to place a Russian asset inside the CIA under the cover of working as an American asset.

Just finished it. Overall I liked it. Entertaining.

Didn't see that twist at the end coming. But there is no way that satellite phone held a charge for that long!

I'm usually not one to nitpick realism. The show has a shape shifter after all. But that scene in the museum where they all in a stand-off pointing guns at each other and the prime minister was lame. That guy would have been taken out immediately. I need to rewatch the scene but I don't think any of his security detail bothered to jump in front of him until Diego put his gun down.
