The Honourable Woman - Penultimate Episode

I feel cheated. Just when I thought I was getting to grips with the series - and to be kept on edge and to see how outrageously convoluted its plotting would become, the penultimate  episode  turned everything on its head yet again.

Spoiler if you haven't watched it...

Nessa Stein was back in Israel, shaking the hand of the dastardly Palestinian who blackmailed her into giving him the contract to lay the cabling for her communications network and for a woman who was the target of so many conspiracies..... and the still more shocking parallel plotline in which one of the series’ last remaining reliable characters, Atika revealed herself to be that most pernicious type of turncoat.....

It's an intriguing set up for a no-doubt eventful conclusion. But I, for one, feel this series could have been better with a lot less plot!

Nevertheless, it has been compelling viewing and I will be 'glued to the screen' for the final episode next Thursday.
