Plot: Two civilians get caught up in a cartel’s uranium smuggling across North Africa; facing a nuclear threat, they must decide whether to save themselves or stop the bomb delivery while evading agencies and traffickers.
Series 1 of Atomic was let down in my opinion.
Pros: I like how its highlighted the Morocco location. The one I gravitate towards was JJ. Max was okay. The plot was simple to follow and to investing with going on throughout the series and Samira Wiley did a job in her role what she was given.
Cons: But her character Cassie Elliot is empty and forgetful. The pacing were affected by how slow of a series this was. There’s not a lot of development in be held in a shortest series. I didn’t feel any of weight to what’s happening on screen & it does deliver an explosive but head scratching conclusion.
