Treason

Later in the episode, Kara reveals to Adam's wife Maddy (Oona Chaplin) she knows Adam isn't Dorian as he was with her the night her men were killed.

Patrick tells Maddy to give him the files as Adam had promised to do so the day before. Kara calls her associate in the Russian government saying she will give her the files if she gets her a plane ticket out of the UK. If Adam was Dorian it would be pretty stupid to give the future prime minister a detailed file about your identity as a double agent. Throughout the series it's not clear if it is Adam and as a viewer, it's unclear whether we can trust his actions. The five-part series tells the gripping story of the deputy head of MI6 Adam Lawrence (Charlie Cox) who must take over as the head of the institution after his boss is poisoned. However, things are not as they initially appear, after a woman from Adam's past threatens to disrupt his life and position at MI6.

Charlie Cox, Oona Chaplin, Ciarán Hinds, Tracy Ifeachor and Olga Kurylenko star in a new thriller with lots of potential twists and turns.

The intrigue is in the web that’s already twisting itself into a knot by the end of the first episode. She’ll have her own suspicions, both of Armstrong and of Dede; she’s too smart and savvy to be played by both of them at once. As long as the show stays on that, while giving some of the third-tier characters a little more to do than what we’ve seen so far, it’ll make for a satisfying thriller. His writing has appeared in the New York Times, Slate, Salon, RollingStone.com, VanityFair.com, Fast Company and elsewhere. It should make for some interesting back and forth between her and everyone in her life. But the first episode doesn’t really give some of the rest of the cast, like Alex Kingston playing Audrey Gratz, whom we assume is the British Home secretary, much in the way of story. At the same time this is going on, a CIA team lands in London, led by Dede Alexander (Tracy Ifeachor). In the meantime, his boss Sir Martin Angelis (Ciarán Hinds), dubbed “C” for “Control”, sits at his fancy dining club with the president of the Supreme Court, showing him evidence of an affair and an illegal visa that he can make go away if the official plays ball. One of the things that seems to trip up a lot of thriller series, especially ones that take place inside the world of international intelligence, is that they lose focus. They know each other from his field days, when Kara was SVR (Russian intelligence) and the two of them were lovers. There are others in the cast like this, but it’s hard to imagine casting Kingston in a tiny part with nothing to do, so we hope that she and some of the other ancillary characters factor into the story more as it goes along. She wants to help the driver, but she later tells him “I don’t fuck up,” as she poisons him.

The 2022 Netflix spy thriller "Treason" takes us inside the perilous and secret world of espionage, where the past of a celebrated MI6 officer came to ...

She revealed that his judgment was flawed, and that Patrick Hamilton was Dorian, who was leaking information to his Russian counterpart. Martin believed that Adam could betray his nation, though all that man desired was to be a true patriot. Adam had a conscience, and he did whatever he could to help Kara get justice for the families of those locals who had suffered. Kara had to prove to Adam that she had not kidnapped his daughter. Adam didn’t help the families of the deceased and left them and Kara to die. Kara knew that she needed some leverage to make Adam give her the information that she needed. Adam knew that if he didn’t fight for his own cause, Martin Angelis would be able to prove that he was a traitor. Martin believed that whatever he was doing was right, and not even once did he think that somebody other than Adam could be the double agent. Kara wanted Adam to be the chief of MI6, and that is why she was making sure that he became the golden goose of the organization. That is why as soon as he was made the interim chief, the first thing he did was to call his family to inform them that they would have to put up with the interference as they would be accompanied by security personnel wherever they went. He knew that his daughter needed time to cope up and he dealt with the issue with a lot of empathy and delicacy. You see evidence of how much he cared for his family through the little things he did for them.

For supposedly high-level spies, the characters in the Netflix thriller miniseries Treason don't seem to be very good at the craft.

Chaplin has to carry more of the plot as the series goes on, but Maddy is even less engaging than Adam. Although Hinds is great at looking vaguely shifty, Treason also never has a clear villain to root against, so the final episode leads to a series of anticlimaxes, even as it seems to be setting up a potential second season that could take the story in a new direction. Both American and British intelligence have branded Adam a traitor, so he goes on the run, putting his family in danger while wavering on whether to trust Kara. The two of them have a history, going back to a botched operation 15 years earlier in the Azerbaijani capital of Baku. Characters evade entire security teams with laughable ease, initiate highly sensitive conversations in obvious earshot of colleagues and civilians, and discover the exact information they need in the exact place they expect to find it.
