Treason

tags: espionage, Netflix streaming
5 less than an hour episodes
Goose 🥚
When the past catches up with the newly appointed head of MI6, in the form of a Russian spy with whom he shares a complicated past, he is forced to question everything and everyone in his life. Secrets, lies and diplomatic relationships will all come to light.
Entertainment companies don't make compelling and intelligent spy thrillers anymore. *Sigh* 

This new series, very short at 5 episodes with 37 to 45 minute episodes, is written, acted, and directed oh so  badly.  Adam Lawrence is elevated to acting Chief of MI6 when the chief was poisoned. EVERYBODY starts acting stupid as soon as his family was introduced - the wife, the children, the "friend" of the wife. Gahhhh! Whispering disease is worse than covid. Everyone is afflicted. Sheesh. .Amateur and convoluted much. The whole production and actors should be ashamed of themselves. 👎👎 Avoid!

Big Bet

 
tags: action, KDrama, murder mystery
Big Bet (formerly titled "Casino") is the story of a man who has become a legend of a casino in the Philippines without money or support, and starts the last bet on his life when he is caught in the middle of a murder.
Actor Choi Min-sik plays Cha Moo-sik, the legend of casino and Lee Dong-hwi plays his right-hand man Jung-pal. Son Suk-Ku plays Oh Seung-hoon, a local police officer in charge of crimes related to Koreans living in Philippines, while Filipino actor Nico Antonio plays his counterpart in the CIDG.
The original title was Casino but changed to Big Bet which is better IMHO. I've seen the first 3 episodes released today, December 21, for total of 8 episodes. Second part with 8 episodes will be aired after a 2 week break. I like the 3 episodes so far. Must watch because Choi Min Sik of Oldboy and my current fave Son Suk-Ku are the main actors. It's interesting that it was partly filmed in the Philippines with some Filipino actors.
