Set in present day which makes it harder to enjoy. Liked it a lot. Joseph was an interesting character and the way they set her up is unique. Her choices continue to surprise me but it’s clear that she’s in too deep. Plus she was always sympathetic to that cause. 
Does make you think about them as people. Quite memorable. Interesting take on the agent/handler dynamic. Not cliche and seems natural at the end.
