Brilliant performance by Keeley Hawes in an exceptional crime thriller, leaving me spellbound with its mind-bending plot twists and turns. I'm yet to recover from the thrill.

In the gripping new crime thriller, "The Assassin," Keeley Hawes delivers an exceptional performance as Julie, a retired assassin living a quiet life on a secluded Greek island. Her peaceful existence is disrupted when her estranged son, Edward, played by Freddie Highmore, visits from England with difficult questions.

Julie's past catches up with her, and the mother and son duo are forced to go on the run. The series, highly recommended for viewers, captivates from the first episode and keeps them engaged until the end.

The road trip that no one asked for presents a unique opportunity for Julie and Edward to confront their fragile relationship. Secrets and lies from both parties threaten to drive them apart, but the dialogue between them is sarcastic and condescending, yet refreshingly brilliant.

The scriptwriters are commended for creating a chilling thriller with comedic one-liners that bring a touch of humour to the series. A moment of humour involves someone being killed with a cheese fork.

As they try to uncover who is trying to kill them and why, Julie and Edward are drawn deeper into Julie's dangerous world. They are left fighting for their lives, their bond growing stronger with each challenge they face.

All six episodes of "The Assassin" are currently available in the UK and Ireland on Prime Video. Don't miss out on this must-watch series, where Keeley Hawes and Freddie Highmore deliver outstanding performances that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
