Heart of Stone (I) (2023)
3/10
More dumbed-down dreck for the brainded masses
11 August 2023
Less then three minutes in and it's already painfully obvious this is yet another entry in the minimum-effort, disposable TV show category.

We start with some breathtaking scenery flying over the Schnals Glacier toward the Alpin Arena Schnals Senalesatop ski resort, at least until they decided to point the camera into the sun once we switch to the party. There we learn some agents are conducting an op, but just like recent DOA shows like Citadel and Fubar, trained agents are speaking on their "secret" coms openly among crowds of people. Worse, they are further risking exposure by extending those exchanges into casual conversations about (insert unimportant topic).

Then something goes wrong with their remote computer access (which also never makes sense), yet no one on the team seems alarmed that they might have been discovered and cut off. Instead they casually seek another way to access the network.

Besides the fact secure networks don't broadcast a signal through which they can be hacked, even if that was a thing the team would have already had an alternate plan in place.

Adding to the dumbness, the "hacker" needs to be within ten feet of the head security guy for... reasons, but the rest of the team opposes the plan because she's "not a field agent". Uh, they are all in a foreign country operating from a van parked outside the resort. That's the field. If she was merely a computer tech she'd be at their headquarters since their concern seems to be her lack of field training, even though she's in the field.

It's a shame moronic garbage has become the norm.
