Trying to explain the British usage of “secondment” and “seconded” (rhymes with bonded) in all its bureaucratic mundane whiny glory.

@randometc I was wondering if Brits liked it or thought it silly. I've been really enjoying it. I love that it seems like they're actually filming in London

@todbot I don’t know what Brits think but this expat certainly enjoys it. Oldman is glorious and disgusting. The baddies were a bit *too* stupid in season one (but I think that’s how they were recruited by the spook?) but I wasn’t bingeing it on a plane and it didn’t hold me back. Good fun!

@randometc Finally got to watching it last week and binged the entire first season in about 2 days. While certainly trope-y as can be, it’s a triumph of the genre.
