Reviews

3.9 out of 5 stars from 62 ratings
  • Some bad edits

    On the Mi6 episode there are a lot of editing mistakes. Where actors have revoiced parts, the editor has left re-takes in. Including from Nihal, the host. Lazy and not the quality you expect for such an amazing BBC exclusive with Mi6.
