Discuss Caliphate

This is a fast paced, phenomenally well acted and convincing depiction of radicalisation that leaves you feeling angry, distraught and excited, but also like your nerves have been shredded with a cheese grater. Annoyingly, the narrative is undermined by contrivance and irrational, even farcical behaviour and judgment from some of the characters, but these dubious writing decisions are forgivable when the overall result is so compelling, and it could be argued they provide more opportunity to tell the greater tale. Highly recommend this if you've not seen it, and I'm excited to see what the show runners do next.

Maybe because millions of people DO NOT subscribe to NF?

I'm not familiar with this show, nonetheless based upon the description, it sounds more akin to John Le Carre than it does James Bond, Jack Ryan, or Homeland. Thus, I'm not surprised that it's not getting mass appeal

It's also from Sweden & a lot of people do not like to read subtitles. I love a lot of the Scandinavian shows, used to watch them on MHZ (& many other European TV shows) but they are no longer a free channel.

Very sad turn of events for the main characters, the police woman and Parvin. Totally unbelievable and disappointing ending.

Very sad since the action and acting was superb throughout.
