Featured review

5/10

Jumbled and confusing at least

Advertising executive Jacqueline hires Barry (Daniel Craig) who is an ex-convict that knows almost nothing about advertising! Apparently she hires him because he is the creator of a device that can ipnotize people and plant suggestions to their heads, and it could be used for boosting product sales. Little does Jacqueline know that Barry is secretely in cahoots with her ex-partner Alistair Touchstone that seeks revenge after the company was stolen.

In the first half I was liking the episode but more the time passed, more I felt confused and thought I was watching some other show instead. Not a great episode despite it stars Daniel Craig (a decade before he became James Bond) and he is good as usual. And the other reviewers are pretty harsh too on this one.
