Fabulous long beginning - tense train scene. Fabulous episode 2 sniper scene with attendant plot shock. Audacious move to kill off principal character in Episode 4, though did feel cheated when five minutes later this seems to happen again to another one...
Perfect plotting then to make the season finale set piece - one of those trademark Mercurio ones which goes on for ever - also with a bomb vest, and just because he does kill off characters ruthlessly you fear any second that's what's going to happen again - but to bring back the original woman on the train... that's plotting!
