Six Degrees of Assassination

** mixed feelings about this one **

This was my first ever audible original and it was some experience. Not gonna lie, I clicked download on this because Andrew freaking Scott . That man has the most beautiful voice, I can float around my daily life with his voice narrating every bit of it.

The story is a very clichéd MI6 drama chasing the bad boys. They hit all your classic casts of “enemy of Great Britain” starter pack. Bad bad fundamental Muslim? Check. The shady double-crossing Russians? Check. Sneaky spying Chinese that we can't trust? Check. Them bloody labour party members selling away the country to immigrants? Check check check.

At some point I wasn't sure if they were making the story ironically cringy or such was the plot to hit your tired lame terrorism meets assassinations meets destruction of the whole nation plot-line.

All said and then, the ten parter Audible original drama wasn't too painful to listen to as I unpacked the contents of my dorm into my childhood house. Made the process less painful and voice of Andrew Scott as Alex Cartwright was soothing-ish. The end was, argh, so Dan Brown. Like why? That's all I'll say.
