Reply to comment by Kumbackkid in Question regarding Netflix's Treason for anyone that's seen it by supahfly112

I literally came to Reddit to see if people thought the same thing. How can the wife of an MI6 agent and she herself being a relatively high ranked military be so infuriatingly naive. Ifelt asleep and woke up in ep4.

She’s like “why doesn’t he tell me things and he’s saying names of people I’ve never heard of so he must be cheating on me or something”….uhhhhh maybe your husband is the head of MI6 you dumb c*nt

Yeah why is the wife of the top spy in Britain upset when her spy husband does spy shit.

Lol this - this exactly - and like immediately resorts to spying on him and telling the CIA everything? Nobody is that dumb - nobody

If they dropped the whole paranoid wife routine about an affair or being complicit in the kidnapping g or whatever and just had the COA approach her and flip her as an asset with the same logic that they used in the show it would have been way more convincing.

I dropped it after episode 2 to start season 3 of Jack Ryan. At least that spy show treats stupid spy shit like it is.

It’s akin to ghost hunters getting all scared when “finding” ghosts on those reality shows- the writing is shit.

Yeah - and goes so far as to actually spy on his top secret calls, and tail him in a van with a foreign spy agency (the CIA)???? Like…what???

It would be one thing if she did not know what he does but she is fully aware of what he does and the fact that there is an ongoing intelligence operation. Her entire plotline could end with him saying "She's an asset that is being worked with potential information regarding the assassination attempt on my boss"

Yes, if she didn't know what he did, or that her friend was CIA.... that would have made much more sense. But she was a military officer and knows her husband's interim Control. It's completely ridiculous.

I stopped after the second and put on Vikings. The wife was so stupid I couldn’t get over it and the cia lady literally came to the house. Not considering the bad accents but even the decisions the new director was making was ridiculous as if he’s still a field agent moving solo while you have one of the deepest intel agencies in the world.
